What is recorded here
Castle Tioram is a 13th century castle at Cur Doirlinn, Moidart, later changed into a keep tower with domestic rooms and a high tower. It stands as a scheduled monument, meaning the state still treats its stones as worth protecting. The build grew across centuries rather than appearing whole, which fits a household that kept adapting to weather, danger and pride.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Tioram as Building (medieval) - (post Medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Built by the Clan MacDougall in the 13th century, Castle Tioram is remembered as a strategically important stronghold on the remote island of Eilean Tioram in Loch Melfort, often associated with Scottish clan conflicts and later held by the Clan Cameron.
