139 | "There is a ruin on the northern banks of that lake called Fionn-chairn Castle which is pointed out as the residence of Mac Mhic Iain. It stands upon a rock, which rises up from the waters of the lake on one side, & is all around steep & rugged, without a pathway, so that it is entered by climbing with some difficulty. It is a square building of small dimensions, having an area in the centre, surrounded by what appears to have been rooms, or rather cells, one tier above another, & the uppermost of them roofed in by flags of a large size. Tradition says it was destroyed by fire, & the account given of it's fall is illustrative of the times." New Statistical Account |
