The following from McArthur's Antiquities still applies. "Lochranza Castle consists of two square towers united, apparently the work of different periods. The walls are thick and massive, cemented by a gravelly mortar, and pierced by a few small loophole windows, The entrance is on the west & conducts into the gaurdroom, which again communicates with the dungeon"... "The Castle is said to have been built by one of the Stewart Kings as a hunting seat. It is mentioned by Fordun, Circa A.D. 1400. as one of two Royal Castles in Arran". -- McArthur's Antiquities of Arran. |
