Streatlam Castle: Trench Point, Campbeltown Harbour, Kintyre, Firth of Clyde

Brig (19th Century)

What is recorded here

Streatlam Castle occupied Trench Point in the nineteenth century, overlooking Campbeltown Harbour and the Firth of Clyde. Its brig structure suggested a place of passage, watchfulness, or local pride rather than distant grandeur. The sea would have touched that idea constantly, filling the point with motion, risk, and the possibility of being seen.
