Kilchurn Castle lies at the north
end of Loch Awe. This view is from the east shore of the
loch on A819. The castle was built by the Campbells of
Glenorchy in the mid-15th century and was garrisoned for
the Campbells by the MacGregors of Brackley until 1595.
Following the breakdown of the relationship of the
Campbells and the MacGregors of Glenstrae in the late
1550s, it became a base from which Grey Colin of
Glenorchy, and his son Black Duncan, harried the
MacGregors and ultimately wrested their Glenstrae lands
from them. |
