Scope and Content Torosay Castle, in foreground, is a 19th-C Scottish baronial mansion, completed in 1858 for John Campbell. The terraced garden is credited to Sir Robert Lorimer. On its left, a "bath house" (a changing room for sea bathing) is situated on the wooded point at the mouth of the bay. In the bay beyond the Castle a possible fish trap, in the form of a shallow "V", can be seen. At the point on the opposite side of the Bay is Duart Castle (14th-C, but with 13th-C predecessor), which was restored in 1912 following its re-acquisition by the Macleans. Between the Castle and the plantation to its right is a burial ground containing the graves of English officers who died while in occupation of the castle after the 1745 rising. Just off the point lies the wreck of the "Swan", a Cromwellian warship which foundered in 1653. At upper right edge of image, before the white cottage is the Kilpatrick Burial Ground, believed to be the site of a chapel. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
