Kilchurn Castle - The Campbell Stronghold.

Sitting upon the shores of Loch Awe in Argyll, Kilchurn Castle was the seat of the Campbells of Glenorchy, the most powerful cadet branch of the Clan Campbell. Masters of political positioning, the Glenorchy Campbells increased their territory throughout the 1600s - mostly at the cost of the MacGregor Clan. Playing both sides in the troubles arising from the Jacobite cause - and exponential gains socially, placed the title of the Earldom of Breadalbane and Holland upon the family and saw their power almost equal the Duke of Argyll’s. Sir Ewen Cameron of Lochiel was born at the castle. The castle was adapted to allow a garrison for 200 men - Campbell planned to sell it to the government - but Fort William was instead developed. The castle was briefly garrisoned by government troops during the Rising of 1745 - with Bonnie Prince Charlie’s failed attempt to regain the crown. After this the castle - like the Jacobite cause - crumbled slowly into history. Kilchurn now sits in the care of Historic Environment Scotland. #scottishcastles #castlesofscotland ******************************* Please subscribe to my channel if you enjoy my content and click the ‘notification button’ to be notified when new content is published - UC9LeJlbpW2zw45Kbl1C52vw/?sub_confirmation=1 ******************************* #scotland #highlands #seekerfilms Part of my Scottish Castles series:    • Scottish Castles   Castle Tioram -    • Castle Tioram - The stronghold of Mac...   Traquair House -    • Traquair House - Innerleithen - Once ...   Abbotsford -    • Seeker - Abbotsford   Castle -    • Kilchurn Castle - The Campbell Strong...   Newark Castle -    • Newark Castle - Home of David Leslie,...   Crichton Castle -    • Crichton Castle - Where the Black Din...   Tantallon Castle -    • Tantallon Castle - East Lothian fortr...   Bothwell Castle -    • Bothwell Castle - Stronghold to the B...   Cessford Castle -    • Cessford Castle - Ancestral home to t...   Hume Castle -    • Hume Castle - On the site of the migh...   Smailholm Tower -    • Smailholm Tower - Sir Walter Scott’s ...   Mugdock Castle -    • Mugdock Castle - Home of the Marquess...   Greenknowe Tower -    • Greenknowe Tower, near the village of...   Video made using a DJI Mavic 3 Classic.
