Carrick Castle
Carrick Castle is a 14th-century rectangular tower house on a rocky promontory on the west shore of Loch Goil in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Built by the Campbells, it consists of a tall stone keep with a later 17th-century wing and was an occasional royal hunting lodge and residence before partial destruction in the 17th century; it is a scheduled monument and Category A listed building.

As it stood in 1563
The shape it held in its prime.
A tall rectangular stone tower house standing on a low rocky peninsula into Loch Goil, roughly 66 by 38 feet in plan and about 64 feet high, with thick 7-foot masonry walls. The main block rises two floors above a central great hall and is joined on one side by a smaller 17th-century appendage. The stone is dark grey-brown coursed masonry; windows are few and narrow, and a small chimney is set into one window recess. The peninsula meets the water with a small shore and pier.
