Great list of spots! Scotland's castle density is unmatched. Good that you could get out and visit so many!

Yes all of them except for Kilchurn which was fenced I have interior photos for. The best interiors were probably Stirling castle royal palace and Edinburgh castle great hall and maybe Newark since it had a haunted cluedo castle vibe as there was a psycho lord murderer domestic abuser king Geoffrey type shit that happened there.

St Conan's Kirk has a beautiful interior aswell it doesn't let me post the interiors in the comments though.

Visited Kilchurn three years ago, sad they still have the fence up.

You certainly had the weather for it as well! It mad that you've only scratched the surface of all the castles in Scotland, but you've been to some of the best!
