| ARDTORNISH CASTLE | Ardtornish Castle | Valentine Smith Esq. William Smith Esq. J. Corson Esq. |
070 | The remains of an ancient castle situated on a promontory on the north side of the Sound of Mull, about a mile and a half south-eastward from the village of Lochaline. It consits of a rectangular wall of great thickness, 30 yards in length, 20 in breadth, and about 20 feet in height, on the outside. The interior is full of debris. The castle was built by the McDonalds, of the Isles, but when, I have been unable to ascertain, for there is no tradition respecting it that I am aware of in the locality. "The principal antiquity is the ruins of a Castle at a farm called Ardtornish (possibly the Innistore of Ossian) On the Sound of Mull". Old St. [Statistical] Account. "Ardtornish is derived from Ard Thor n' eass, or the high cliff of Waterfalls". New St. [Statistical] Account. Property of Valentine Smith Esq. |
