Kilberry Castle

Knocking Stone(s) (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Kilberry Castle is a Scottish baronial house on the Sound of Jura that burned in 1772 and was rebuilt by David Bryce in 1844 for the Campbell family. It has passed through ownership by the MacMurachies, Earls of Argyll, and several Campbell lines, including Marion Campbell, who inherited the estate at eight and regained it at eighteen. The castle is being restored now for its current owners, continuing a life that stretches back to the late fifteenth century.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kilberry Castle as Knocking Stone(s) (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Kilberry Castle was built by the MacDowalls in the 16th century and later held by the Cunninghams. It is remembered for its strategic position in the Clyde Valley and its role in local clan conflicts.
