A section of Dunstaffnage Castle ruins, The castle is built on an outcrop rock using what appears to be an odd mix of stone, (Large View) I think the colours of the stone in the wall to left are beautiful!. The castle which was built before 1240 has a very defensive position having water on three sides, it covers from Firth of Lorn to the Pass of Brander also Ardmucknish Bay and the entrance to Loch Etive. HWW to all!

Chapel with a tragic history in the grounds of Dunstaffnage Castle, 1462 is the year and events unfolded on the 20th December as a bridal party walked through the woods from the castle, The 3rd Lord of Lorn Sir John Stewart a widower was to marry his mistress a MacLaren of Ardvich with whom he already had a son. However before reached the chapel a vengeful relative who had hidden in the bushes ambushed and stabbed him several times, He was carried into the chapel where he found enough breath to make his wedding vows before he died, This ensured his sons inheritance! HWW !!!!!!!!!!

A dark and mysterious castle with a long history, This is Dunstaffnage Castle which was built before 1240 and has far reaching views across the Firth of Lorne, Once the stronghold of the MacDougall Clan it was captured by Robert the Bruce in 1308 and stayed in Royal hands until 1409. In 1746 Flora MacDonald was held here before her transfer to the Tower of London, for aiding the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie. ,,,,,,,,,,,,, HWW! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,Large maybe For Sight and Sound www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTZs7oMEIOY
