Castle Campbell - Short 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 pit below.

Castle Campbell was originally known as Castle Gloom, but in 1490 the 1st Earl of Argyll had the name changed.
