What is recorded here

Coroghon Castle stands on a sheer rock stack above Canna, preserving the only tangible Clanranald investment in the Small Isles. Local tradition claims Donald, the 13th chief, built it to imprison an adulterous wife, a story that inspired Sir Walter Scott's poem "The Lord of the Isles". The small stronghold may have briefly served as a prison, but it was certainly not designed for that purpose.

Coroghon Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Highland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Coroghon Castle was likely built in the medieval period, though specific builders and dates are not recorded. It is remembered as a historical site in the Highland region, reflecting the area's strategic and territorial significance during the Scottish Middle Ages.
