The grounds of the Castle extend to about 132.99 acres (53.82ha) and include the Isle of Risga and Eilean an Feidh.

The isolated islands are uninhabited and are accessed on by boat but they can be gazed upon from the comfort of the castle.

According to the Glenborrodale Castle website, the A-listed building is currently under private ownership and is not open to the public, but it has previously been used as a wedding venue and for exclusive accommodation.

The castle was built as a guest house by the South African diamond merchant Charles Rudd the main business associate of Cecil Rhodes.
