153 | This castle is built upon a rock which was formerly surrounded by the Sea by means of a ditch. The entry to the castle from the land was by a drawbridge which was defended by a strong wall and two small towers. The Castle itself is of an oblong figure but not perfectly regular, as the Architect in laying the foundation kept in some places by the very edge of the rock: it is 66 ft long & 38 ft broad over the walls: the side-wall is 64 ft high & 7 ft thick. Between the Castle & the sea there is a part of the rock unoccupied, which was surrounded by a high & strong wall built round the edge of the rock. The time in which this Castle was built does not seem to be ascertained. It can be traced up as far as the end of 15th Century, but it is probably much older. The tradition of the country is that it was built by the Danes. It was a King's house & the Duke of Argyll is heritable Keeper of it. It was burned by the Athol men. New Statistical Account No trace now remains of drawbridge nor of strong Wall & towers |
