Castle [note]
"The old castle of Dunaverty deserves to be mentioned
as the scene of some historical events. There is on one side
a tremendous precipice hanging over the sea; on the other
the hill on which it is situated rises in the form of a pyramid.
Nature was assisted by art in making this a stronghold. The
sea nearly surrounds it; and the fossee, covered with a
draw-bridge, after which two or three walls, one within
the other, fortified the ascent. On the top of this rock the
Lord of the Isles had one of his Castles, in which Robert
Bruce took refuge for some nights during his adversity".
