 The castle is marked on a 1634 Timothy Pont map, the location being Knapdale, Argyll.It was renovated in 1704 by Duncan MacTavish, and according to the 19th-century historian G.D. Mathews, it was owned by the MacTavishes.Today little of it exists, as it was torn down to make way for the Crinan Canal venture, which also changed the size, shape and water level of Loch a' Bharain.
