What is recorded here

Duntrune Castle, Boat House stands in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, recorded as a boathouse without a clear period. The exact point is known to the nearest metre, yet the absence of a date leaves the structure suspended outside ordinary history. Perhaps it served the castle during storms when roads vanished and water became the only road. The missing time does not weaken the place; it suggests the boat house belonged to several centuries at once, carrying people and goods through darkness while the castle watched from above.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Duntrune Castle, Boat House as Boathouse (period Unassigned). 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.

Duntrune Castle, Boat House is associated with Duntrune Castle, a 13th-century fortress held by the MacDougall clan, important in the history of Argyll and the Wars of Scottish Independence. The boat house reflects the castle's strategic coastal role.
