What is recorded here

Dunstaffnage Castle, Pier stands in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, though no human memory or clear purpose has survived to explain why it was built. The stones may have marked a loading place, a private jetty, or a boundary between land and water, but that much has vanished. What remains is a pier named after a castle, present in official records yet absent from living memory, waiting for someone to remember what it carried.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dunstaffnage Castle, Pier as Pier (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Dunstaffnage Castle, Pier is associated with Dunstaffnage Castle, a 13th-century fortress built by the MacDougall clan. The pier may have been used for maritime access and is important as part of the historic coastal defenses and strategic stronghold in the region.
