It notes that its building has been attributed to various kin-groups by different scholars, the most recent and fullest analysis making a firm case for the MacDougalls.

Pat Batty has written an article on a stunning dragonfly, the rather aptly named Beautiful Demoiselle, which we will have the pleasure of seeing again in the not too distant future. As promised in the last issue, we have a short article looking at various archaeological objects recovered from Argyll, whether through excavation or chance find. In this issue we look at some particularly rare items that are sometimes found in Argyll and date to the Iron Age period, these being glass toggle beads. Modern analytical techniques now allow archaeologists to examine objects in ways that were just not available until quite recently and can add colour to the story of individual items. However, they cannot give us a complete picture of the past and we still have to rely on our imaginations, however informed, to fill any gaps in that story.

  • Tarbert Castle
    TARBERT CASTLE EXCAVATION PROJECT DESIGN March 2018 Roderick Regan Tarbert Castle: Our Castle of Kings A Community Archaeological Excavation. Many questions remain as to the origin of Tarbert castle, its development and its layout, while the function of many of its component features remain unclear. Also unclear is whether the remains of medieval royal burgh extend along the ridge to the south of the castle. A programme of community archaeological excavation would answer some of these questions, leading to a better interpretation, presentation and future protection of the castle, while promoting the castle as an important place through generated publicity and the excitement of local involvement. Several areas within the castle itself readily suggest areas of potential investigation, particularly the building ranges lining the inner bailey and the presumed entrance into the outer bailey. Beyond the castle to the south are evidence of ditches and terracing while anomalies detected during a previous geophysical survey suggest further fruitful areas of investigation, which might help establish the presence of the putative medieval burgh. A programme of archaeology involving the community of Tarbert would not only shed light on this important medieval monument but would help to ensure it remained a ‘very centrical place’ in the future.

The site lies within the Sound of Mull, off the Ardnamurchan peninsula. An area designated under the Protection of Wrecks Act (1973), with a radius of 250m, was established on 19th August 2000. This work was undertaken as part of the Contract for Archaeological Services in Relation to the Protection of Wrecks Act (1973). The site was discovered in 1999 by diver Phil Richards. The main site consists of four of guns lying end to end in an east-west direction across the slope of a reef with a fifth lying approximately 7m to the north-northwest. A stoneware Bellarmine jug, copper kettle, pieces of lead, and a possible lead vent apron with ‘an apparent inscribed date of 1638’ were recovered from the site at the time of its discovery. The artefacts and guns suggested a 17th century date for the site.

The seemingly late spring for the UK paid off for us this year with a late emergence of the Scottish Midge, and apart from a couple of short periods, we were mostly unaware of these wee beasts! The mammals were in good form with multiple Otter sightings at three separate sites along the shores of Loch Sunart and almost daily sightings of foraging Pine Martens, including two coming to food put out especially for them at our Glenborrodale accommodation. We saw four species of deer, both Grey and Common Seals, and revelled in good views of Bottlenose Dolphins. The birds also put on an excellent show with plenty of eagles of both species (11 different individuals on one memorable day), a brief encounter with the Strontian American Black Duck, three species of diver, and woods full of singing Willow Warblers. Cuckoos were both audible and visual and we encountered plenty of Tree, Rock and Meadow Pipits, Northern Wheatear, Whinchat and Stonechat in their typical habitats.
