Castle Stalker is a four-storey medieval tower house built in 1320, situated on a tidal islet in Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Located about 1½ miles northeast of Port Appin and visible from the A828 road between Oban and Glen Coe, the castle takes its name from the Gaelic word "stalcaire," meaning hunter or falconer. The islet is accessible only with difficulty at low tide. One of the best-preserved medieval tower houses in western Scotland, Castle Stalker stands within the Lynn of Lorn National Scenic Area and holds Category A listed building status.
