There are also a large number of “Duns” stone towers, such as Dun Charlabhaigh – Isle of Lewis (200 -800 AD). On the islands there is a very high
concentration of Standing Stones, the most famous are Calanais – Isle of Lewis (3000 BC) and the Ring of Brodgar – Orkney (2000 – 2500 BC).

Some are freshwater Lochs such as Loch Ness, while others are sea inlets like the Lochs you find in the West of Scotland and are known as sea Lochs, an example is Loch Fyne.
Without doubt most Lochs in Scotland offer amazing beauty!

Personally abandoned Castles intrigue me a lot more and below are just a few Castles that you can find in Scotland.
