What is recorded here
Auchmull was a square tower built in 1601 for the Lindsays of Edzell, marked by a heraldic stone bearing Lindsay and Wishart arms. It served as a farmhouse until about 1772, then men quarried its stones for neighbouring buildings. By 1881 the castle had vanished completely, leaving only a memory and a preserved stone at Edzell Castle.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Auchmull as Castle (medieval). 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.
Auchmull Castle, located in Argyll and Sutherland, Scotland, was built in the 16th century by the Clan Campbell, a powerful Highland family. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold in the region and as the ancestral seat of the Campbells of Auchmull, reflecting the clan's influence during the late medieval period.
