Lochindorb comes from the Gaelic meaning 'Loch of Trouble' and the castle ruins you will see have certainly had their share of those. Dating back to the 13th century, it was originally held by the Comyns, but later occupied by the English and was visited by Edward I in 1303 when he stayed here for 9 days, hunting out on the moor. Later it was used as a prison and also a garrison for English troops. At the end of the 14th century, it was gifted by Robert II to his third son, the notorious Wolf of Badenoch, Alexander Stewart, who rampaged around quite a bit of the local area. Lochindorb was said to be his favourite haunt.
The Cache sits in the shadow of Tiribeg, almost but not quite on the shore of the loch. It has great views through 360 degrees, particularly of the ruins of the castle.
Dogs are welcome but please keep them on a lead or under close control.
