KILCHURN CASTLE
Standing
at the head of Loch Awe on what is today a low, rocky mound, but which,
in medieval times, was an island, Kilchurn Castle was built, probably,
around 1440 by Margaret, wife of Sir Colin Campbell, first Laird of Glenurquhay.
This original 5-storey keep, later extensively improved and extended,
was to be well-tested in battle - enduring a siege by Royalists during
the Civil War. Later, although by now already a partial ruin, it was used
to garrison Hanoverian troops in the tumultuous days of the Jacobite Risings.
