What is recorded here
Island Muller Castle stands ruined on a Kintyre promontory, a medieval tower house where MacDonald ancestors clashed in blood and chain. Angus MacDonald, 8th of Dunnyveg, wore irons there in 1598 after his son burnt his home and captured him. The stones still hold that family violence, while the sea removes everything else.
