Scope and Content View of Saddell Castle from the south, Argyll and Bute Saddell Castle was built in 1508-10 by David Hamilton, Bishop of Argyll. It was attacked in 1558 but the extent of the damage is unknown. In 1650 much of it was repaired. It was restored in the 19th century and again in the 1970s. The castle stands within an enclosure, which, though altered, gives a good impression of a full tower-house establishment. The rubble exterior of the castle is mostly original. The mid-17th-century alterations were carried out using a dark red sandstone. In the 17th century a number of extra windows were inserted while others were enlarged. The original openings, both inside and outside, have plain chamfered arrises, which means their sharp edges have been cut away. Some of the windows are barred. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
