Scope and Content Pre-restoration view of west tower of Dunstaffnage Castle, at the mouth of Loch Etive, Argyll Dunstaffnage Castle was built before 1275 by the MacDougalls of Lorn who lost it in 1309. It passed to the Campbell Earls of Argyll in the 1320s. It was a government base in 1745, and, in 1746, Flora MacDonald's temporary prison. The west tower housed a ground-floor prison. Its first-floor entrance was defended by a heavy draw-bar, probably because the trapdoor to the prison was on that level. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
