Ardtornish Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Morvern, Scotland
The stone remains of Ardtornish Castle stand on a coastal promontory extending into the Sound of Mull, two kilometers from Lochaline village.
The castle functioned as a primary residence for the chiefs of Clan Donald from the early 14th century until its abandonment in the late 17th century.
Multiple charters written in Latin and Gaelic were issued from this castle, demonstrating the regional administrative functions during the medieval period.
The castle ruins maintain protected status as a scheduled monument, ensuring preservation of the structural elements for research and documentation purposes.
The Westminster-Ardtornish treaty of 1461 proposed dividing Scotland into three parts among local leaders in exchange for allegiance to England.
