Castle Campbell

Castle Campbell is a medieval hilltop castle above the town of Dollar in Clackmannanshire, central Scotland. It was the lowland seat of the Earls and Dukes of Argyll from the 15th to the 19th century and comprises a tower house with attached east and south ranges arranged around a courtyard, set above narrow gorges overlooking the Devon Valley.

As it stood in 1595

The shape it held in its prime.

A rectangular stone tower house with a pitched roof stands with attached ranges around a grassy courtyard; the east range features a two-arched loggia with an ashlar façade above. Large south-facing windows in the south range overlook terraced gardens and the Devon Valley. The castle perches on a rocky crag between two narrow gorges (the former 'Gloom'), with mixed woodland on the slopes below and a wide rural panorama beyond. Masonry is grey-brown dressed stone; roofs on the main tower and ranges are present in the prime state.
