Castle Campbell
Castle Campbell is a mediæval castle situated above the town of Dollar, Clackmannanshire in central Scotland. It was the seat of the Earls and Dukes of Argyll, chiefs of Clan Campbell. The castle was originally a property of the Clan Stuart, but passed by marriage to Colin Campbell, 1st Earl of Argyll, and Chancellor of Scotland. He had the name of the castle changed by an act of Parliament to Castle Campbell in 1489. The tower house was built in the late fifteenth century and was called Castle Gloom until 1489 when it was renamed Castle Campbell. The Hall Range was constructed c.1500 and would have originally provided additional lodging and public reception.
