. Lorn Campbell Esqr Mr. King Mr. Clark |
016 | No remains of this Castle are now visible but Mr. Campbell informed me that it stood on the shore of Castle Bay and extended inwards towards the present House for a considerable distance, the wall next the shore was of great height but as the ground rises the other portions were only of moderate elevation. "An ancient castle stood on the shore of Campsaile-bay and seems to have served for centuries merely as a place of strength, but was fitted up about the year 1630 by the Marquis of Argyle as a subsidiary residence to the castle of Inverary. It underwent great changes and was eventually destroyed by fire about the commencement of the present century." Fullt. [Fullarton's] Gazetteer. |
