Scope and Content Water-inlet of south-east tower of curtain walls of Skipness Castle, Knapdale, Argyll Skipness Castle was upgraded to a stone fortress by the Stewart Earls of Menteith, probably when, with John MacDougall of Lorn's help, John Menteith held Knapdale against the MacSweens and the MacDonald Lords of the Isles. This water-inlet is on the corner of the south-east tower. The angled base-plinth of the neighbouring wall has been left out to allow access for a water-cart. A stone basin acts as a funnel.
