Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Gylen Castle This stronghold was known as "the castle of the fountains" and was built by Duncan MacDougall of Dunollie, 16th chief of the clan, with construction finally being completed in 1582. In 1647, the Royalist MacDougalls, who were occupying the castle for Charles I, were besieged by a Covenanting army under General Leslie. The MacDougalls surrendered upon being offered clemency, and the castle was turned into a raging inferno. Unfortunately for the MacDougalls, the Covenanters did not stay true to their word, and slaughtered the defenders in cold blood. |
