What is recorded here

Castle Lachlan is a ruined fifteenth-century stronghold on the shore of Loch Fyne where Maclachlan chiefs lived until they moved east in 1790. It stands beside Kilmorie Chapel, the burial place of those chiefs, while the old stone walls still mark the clan's long presence on the Cowal Peninsula.
