Torosay Castle, Mull — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Torosay Castle on Mull is recorded only as an unassigned cist, a bare hole in the ground where a dead body once lay. The castle name suggests grandeur, but the evidence offers no wall, no chamber, no date. A cist is a box built for one person, not a hall built for many. Perhaps the castle is a mistake born from pride, or perhaps the true room is the small dark one beneath the grass.
