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.
