Continued entries/extra info
"The promontory being, with the exception of the Rhinns of Galloway, the extreme western point of the Lowlands of Scotland, and lying conveniently between Edinburgh and IcolmKill, and also between Dundonald and Rothsay, the Castle was probably a halting place of the Kings of Scotland on embarking either for Bute or for the burying place of their early ancestors. Some charters of the first and second Stewarts purport to have received the sign-manual at "Arnele", and may popibly[?] evince this castle - however small and incommodious - to have worn in a limited degree similar houses to those of the homogeneous castle of Dundonald." etc Full[Fullerton's] Gazetteer
