What is recorded here

The Arch and East Wing stand as a gate lodge at Torrisdale Castle in Argyll and Bute, though no date or builder is recorded. They may have marked the entrance to a grand house now lost, or simply controlled access to farmland and coast paths. The stones still frame a doorway even if the room behind it has vanished.
