@castlesofscotland: Carrick Castle is located near the village of Lochgoilhead in Argyll. The earliest parts of the castle which were built by the Campbells of Loch Awe, date from the late 14th century, though it is probable that an earlier stronghold, held by the Lamonts, was on the same site. The name is first recorded in 1428, when a legal summons was served on Duncan Campbell at “le Carryk”. The castle appears to have been an important staging post between the Clyde and Loch Fyne; Mary Queen of Scots spent a night there in 1563 en route for Inveraray. From the late 15th century until 1685 the castle was held for the Earls of Argyll by hereditary captains who were required to maintain the castle and its attached lands at their own expense. In 1685 the captain, John Campbell, was summoned to Edinburgh to prevent his aiding the 9th Earl of Argyll, who was involved in a plot to depose King James VII. In May of that year the castle was destroyed by order of the Privy Council. No attempt was made to restore it and the Argyll family retained the superiority. In the first decade of the 20th century some work was carried out such as repointing. The castle is now privately owned. #castlesofscotland #Scotland #visitscotland #travel #castle
