Parish of Saddell & Skipness -- Argyllshire
"The Castle of Saddell is a square tower of con-
siderable dimensions, which is said at one time to have been
entirely surrounded by water. This, joined to the circumstance
of its being flanked with a strong range of battlements all
round the top, must have rendered it an impregnable fortress.
From these battlements one of the Macdonalds, who had a
gun which he facetiously called the cuckoo, let her voice
be heard to the destruction of any suspicious person
who unwarily approached his dwelling"
