Arran, Lochranza Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Lochranza Castle stands on Arran as a medieval ruin, its stones marked by centuries of storm and forgetting. The island itself is a small world of cliffs, fields and old roads, so the castle belongs to that larger life rather than to a single dramatic event. People may have built, defended, abandoned or simply passed beside it, and the absence of a famous name does not reduce the place. It keeps the uncertainty alive, which is often more honest than inventing a hero for the stones.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Arran, Lochranza Castle as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Lochranza Castle on the Isle of Arran was built in the 13th century, likely by the MacDougall clan, who were prominent lords of Lorn in the region. The castle is remembered for its strategic position controlling the Firth of Clyde and its association with the powerful medieval families of western Scotland.
