Castle Campbell History
A winding road up Dollar Glen leads to the entrance gateway of Castle Campbell, spectacularly sited on a promontory of rock.
The 15th-century tower stands to the left, with a vaulted room on the ground floor, a vaulted great hall over this with a large fireplace, and a prison with a pit below.
Castle Campbell was originally known as Castle Gloom, but in 1490 the 1st Earl of Argyll had the name changed.
