Breachacha Castle

A retired Royal Engineer, Brig.-Gen. Ernest Moncrieff Paul (1864–1942), in 1933 obtained permission from Lyon King of Arms to take Stewart of Coll as his surname, and made Breachacha Castle his seat.

[2][3] The castle was restored to livable condition only in the 1960s, by Nicholas MacLean-Bristol and his wife Lavinia.

[4] The Project Trust had the old castle as their original base until a custom built location on the west of the island was created in 1988.

Samuel Johnson and James Boswell stayed at the newer castle on their tour of the Hebrides.

[7][8] As of June 2017[update] the newer castle is for sale as a listed property in need of great repair.
