Achanduin Castle
Achanduin Castle, (also known as Achadun Castle and Acha-Dun),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lismore, Achadun Castle )〕 is a castle, now in ruins, located about 5 kilometres west of Achnacroish on the north-western coastline of the Isle of Lismore,〔 in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.〔 The castle overlooks Loch Linnhe and Bernera Island. The ruins are thought to date back to the thirteenth century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Achadun Castle )〕 Achanduin Castle had long been thought to have been built by the Bishop of Argyll, though recent research has proved this to be unlikely.〔 The castle was likely built by the MacDougalls around 1290 who held it throughout the fourteenth century. The castle was also thought to have been held by the Bishops of Argyll until the mid sixteenth century.〔
==Description of the ruins==
The remains of the castle are seated on the summit of a limestone ridge on the north-western shore of Lismore.〔 The south-west and south-east walls are collapsed though the north-east and a large part of the north-west wall still stand, to a maximum height of 6.7 metres.〔 These curtain walls vary in thickness from 1.4 to 2.4 metres and enclose an area of about 22 metres square.〔 The enclosed area would have contained at least two ranges of buildings on either side of a small courtyard, the south-east range being the more substantial.〔 During excavations of the site in 1970 and 1971, two doorways were found leading from the courtyard into the north-west range.〔
