Barcaldine Castle (also called the Black Castle) is a 17th-century tower house castle located at Barcaldine 9 miles north of Oban, Scotland.

History

The castle was built by Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy between 1601 and 1609.[1] In 1692, the castle was attacked during the massacre of Glencoe.[2]

The castle fell into disrepair in the later 19th century, when Barcaldine House became the principal residence of the family. It was restored between 1897 and 1911.[3] It was purchased in November 2009 by David Whitehead.[4]

Description

The castle has a bottle dungeon and two hidden passageways.[5]

The castle offers a view of the Loch Creran and the Glen Coe mountains.[2]

The castle has been owned since November 2009 by David Whitehead.[4][6]

Ghost

The ghost of Sir Duncan Campbell is said to have been spotted roaming Barcaldine, searching for the man who murdered him.[7][8]
