Craignish Castle, Medieval castle in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
The stone fortress includes a 16th-century tower house with vaulted ground floor and measures 12.7 by 10.2 meters on the Craignish peninsula.
The castle served as the stronghold of Campbells of Craignish until 1544, when the estate transferred to the control of Earls of Argyll.
The castle represents Scottish clan architecture and demonstrates the regional influence of Campbell family through its strategic defensive position and construction methods.
The castle operates as private residences divided into apartments, with occasional openings for charity events and special public occasions.
The castle features an underground dungeon carved directly into solid rock beneath the main structure of the building.
