Skipness Castle Short
History
However, the castle has a complicated history, as it
was extended over the years. Only fragments of the ancient hall survive in the north wall of
the courtyard, through which a gateway was made when the castle became a
farm.
Skipness was probably built by the
MacDonald Lords of the Isles but in 1463 ownership passed to the Campbells. In 1898 the laird
and the process of restoration commenced removed the farm
buildings.
Skipness castle is located near Skipness, in the
Kintyre peninsula.
