Ardtornish Castle is situated in the grounds of the Ardtornish estate in Morvern, on the west coast of Scotland. It stands at the seaward end of a promontory which extends in a southerly direction into the Sound of Mull, about 1 mile (2 kilometres) south-east of the village of Lochaline, Highland. It is protected as a scheduled monument. The castle was probably abandoned around the end of the seventeenth century, by which time Ardtornish and the other Morvern estates of the MacLeans had been captured by the Campbell Earls of Argyll.

  • Ardtornish Castle ist eine Burgruine auf dem Gelände des Anwesens Ardtornish auf der Halbinsel Morvern an der Westküste der schottischen Verwaltungseinheit Highland. Sie liegt am seeseitigen Ende einer Landspitze, die etwa 1,6 km südöstlich des Dorfes Lochaline nach Süden in den Sound of Mull vorspringt. Die Burg war von Anfang des 14. Jahrhunderts bis zum Ende des 15. Jahrhunderts einer der Hauptsitze des Chefs des . Heute ist die Ruine ein Scheduled Monument. Auf Ardtornish Castle starb in den 1380er-Jahren , der 6. Chef des Clan Donald. Von dort aus segelte sein Trauerzug durch den Sound of Mull auf die Insel Iona. Sein Sohn und Nachfolger, , erließ Chartas in Ardtornish, von denen mindestens zwei bis heute erhalten sind, eine in Latein und die andere in Gälisch. Von hier aus zog der Überlieferung nach die Galeerenflotte, die die Vasallen von den Inseln an die Westküste von Ross-shire transportierte, wo sie anlandeten und ihre Invasion zur Unterstützung des Anspruches der Donalds auf das Earldom of Ross begannen, die 1411 zur unentschiedenen führte. Ebenfalls auf Ardtornish Castle traf John of Islays Enkel, der auch John of Islay hieß, der vierte und letzte Lord of the Isles, 1461 die Kommissare von König Eduard IV. von England, um den wohlbekannten Vertrag von Ardtornish-Westminster auszuhandeln, der John of Islay, seinem Verwandten Donald Balloch of Dunnyvaig and the Glens, und dem verbannten Earl of Douglas je ein Drittel des Königreichs Schottland und bis zu dessen Eroberung reiche Geldzahlungen zusprach, wenn diese treue Bürger des Königs von England würden. Die Offenbarung dieses Vertrages von der englischen Regierung gegenüber der schottischen Regierung 1474 hatte für John of Islay den Verlust des Earldoms of Ross im Folgejahr zur Folge und die endgültige Aberkennung der Lordship of the Isles erfolgte 1493. Nach John of Islays Verbannung blieben die Ländereien von Ardtornish eine Zeitlang in den Händen der Krone, wurden dann aber dem Clan MacLean, den Herren von Duart Castle, die bereits große Ländereien auf Morvern erworben hatten, zu Lehen gegeben. Vermutlich Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts wurde die Burg aufgegeben. Damals waren Ardtornish und die anderen Ländereien der MacLeans auf Morvern von den Campbells, den Earls of Argyll, einverleibt worden.

  • Ardtornish Castle is situated in the grounds of the Ardtornish estate in Morvern, on the west coast of Scotland. It stands at the seaward end of a promontory which extends in a southerly direction into the Sound of Mull, about 1 mile (2 kilometres) south-east of the village of Lochaline, Highland. It is protected as a scheduled monument. The castle was one of the principal seats of the high chiefs of Clan Donald from the early 14th to late 15th century, but Somerled had a fortress here in the mid 12th century. Ardtornish was the hub of strategic sea lanes important to him. Later, it was at Ardtornish Castle that John of Islay, Lord of the Isles, 6th chief of Clan Donald died in the 1380s and from where his funeral procession sailed through the Sound of Mull to the island of Iona. His son and successor, Donald of Islay, Lord of the Isles granted charters dated at Ardtornish, at least two of which have survived, one in Latin and the other in Gaelic, and it was from here, according to tradition, that his galley fleet sailed on their way to transport the vassals of the Isles to the west coast of Ross-shire where they landed to begin their invasion in support of Donald's claim to the Earldom of Ross which resulted in the indecisive Battle of Harlaw in 1411. Also at Ardtornish Castle, John's great-grandson, also named John of Islay, the fourth and last Lord of the Isles, met the commissioners of King Edward IV of England in 1461 to negotiate the well-known Treaty of Ardtornish-Westminster by which, in return for becoming loyal subjects of the King of England, John, his kinsman Donald Balloch of Dunnyvaig and the Glens and the forfeited Earl of Douglas were each to have a third of the kingdom of Scotland, with generous pecuniary rewards until the conquest of the kingdom had been completed. The revelation of this treaty by the English government to the government of Scotland in 1474 resulted in the loss of the Earldom of Ross the following year. In the 1493 aftermath of the Raid on Ross, a decade or so later, John's final forfeiture as Lord of the Isles followed. Following this, the lands of Ardtornish remained for a time in the hands of the Crown but were eventually given to the Clan MacLean chief of Duart Castle, who had already acquired large tracts of land in Morvern. The castle was probably abandoned around the end of the seventeenth century, by which time Ardtornish and the other Morvern estates of the MacLeans had been captured by the Campbell Earls of Argyll.
