013.07 | This ruin stands upon "Strathcashell Point" and is, upon the authorities quoted, the ruins of an ancient castle, of which there is nothing now known except by tradition. Its walls are about 4 feet in thickness and at present stand 2 or 3 feet high. "Fingal's Castle" is a name which the people commonly call it, but this can't be established upon any better authority. Whatever this object may have been it is generally understood as a building of great age and throughout the entire district it is known as the "Castle" at "StrathCashell," which, as well as the name "Cashell," is generally understood to take their names in a corrupted form from the Castle, "Cashell" being a Scotticism of Castle. There is a little Island on the east of the Point, near the main-land, which is an artificial Island, composed of stakes driven into the bed of the Loch, with sticks, stones, & earth across on the top. Some bushes are now growing [continued on next page, 122] |
