What is recorded here

Castle Coeffin is a castle ruin on Lismore in Argyll and Bute, built in the 13th century on a promontory above Loch Linnhe. Its thick-walled hall and later bailey still mark the place where power, prayer and sea traffic crossed. The name may reach back to a Danish prince called Caifen, while a sister haunting the castle until taken to Norway belongs to local story rather than proven history.
Castle Coeffin is shown as a castle on the public map of Argyll and Bute. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Built by the Coeffin family in the 13th century, Castle Coeffin is remembered as a historic stronghold associated with the influential Clan Campbell in the Scottish Highlands.
