HISTORICAL NOTE Within the grounds of Castle Toward lies the ruined Toward Castle, the clan seat of the Lamonts. In 1646 the castle was besieged by the Campbells and forced to surrender, whereupon the castle was burned to the ground, never to be used again. The present day mansion house was designed by David Hamilton and built for Kirkman Finlay, a famous East India Merchant in the 1820’s. The house was extended in the 1920’s when it was bought by Major Andrew Coates. During the 2nd World War the castle and grounds were commandeered by the Navy, serving as Naval Headquarters for the duration of the war. Although the house has been used in recent times as a residential school / activity centre it retains many original features, including ornate fireplaces, detailed plasterwork and wood panelling in public rooms and hallways.

I do not think there can be any doubt that Mr. McKinlay has now very clearly put on record three important facts: 1. The scope of Audit Scotland’s work on Actual Reality and Castle Toward was limited to the sales of Castle Toward and Ardentinny; and it was only the results of that work which were given in the annual audit report to elected members and to the Controller of Audit. 2. You have known about this limitation all along because the scope of Audit Scotland’s work was agreed in an exchange of letters between you and Fiona Mitchell-Knight in February this year. 3. Audit Scotland accordingly did not carry out any detailed audit work on the allegations that we have made about the closure of Castle Toward in 2009 and they are “therefore not in a position to comment on the substance or otherwise of them”. My purpose in writing to you now is to ask you to account for the claims made in the name of the Council, that Audit Scotland have supported, confirmed, or validated Council officers’ position that our allegations about the events of 2009 have no substance.

Argyll covers the southwestern islands and western peninsulas of Scotland. While Ayrshire boundaries are well marked, Argyll is a bit more amorphous, encompassing a region that historically stretches into the Highlands. One of Ayrshire’s primary attractions is “Burns Country,” because the area was the poet Robert Burns’s birthplace as well as his predominant stomping grounds for most of his life. But Ayrshire also offers golfers some of the best links courses in the world. If you take the train from Glasgow to Ayr, the main town of Ayrshire, you can see one course after another in the sandy dunes along the shoreline. Argyll, which means the “coast of the Gaels,” encompasses islands such as Bute and Arran as well as the more remote Kintyre Peninsula. Kintyre is so sufficiently isolated that ex-Beatle Paul McCartney has long owned a ranch there where he and his family can retreat from prying eyes. It takes the better part of the day just to reach Kintyre, however, so I don’t dwellCOPYRIGHTED on its charms for too long in this MATERIAL chapter.

  • 3. the Gaelic World and the Early Stewart Court, Stephen Boardman
    333 The Gaelic World and the Early Stewart Court STEPHEN BOARDMAN It has become something of a commonplace to assert that the mid- to late fourteenth century saw the ‘emergence of the Highlands’ in the sense of an increased awareness within Scotland of the division of the kingdom into distinct Highland and Lowland zones which were differentiated from each other in terms of geography, social structure, lifestyle and, above all, language. One of the most important (and certainly the most-quoted) pieces of evidence for this development is the description of Scotland provided by the historian John of Fordun, whose Chronicle can be dated to the mid-1380s.1 Fordun’s comments have been taken as one of the earliest indications of an increasingly hostile attitude on the part of the Lowland Scot toward the Gael; one of the significant milestones on a path leading toward entrenched cultural antagonism and, eventually, attempts at the systematic persecution of Gaelic society and language. An important assumption in attempts to outline the development of the ‘great ill-will of the lowlander’ is that, from the early twelfth century onward, Scottish monarchs identified themselves and their economic, social and political interests with the English-speaking Lowlands and therefore shared, or latterly even shaped, hostile attitudes toward Gaelic Scotland. This historical model of the Gaels and their language as the victims of deliberate and sustained establishment repression was developed in response to conditions in later periods, when an ambitious, wealthy and aggressive government could and did embark on programmes which were consciously designed to marginalise or extirpate the Gaelic language as a contributory factor to the supposed ‘barbarity’ and lawlessness of the Highlands.

It provides the main route for traffic from central Scotland to Argyll and Bute and therefore provides access to such towns as Inveraray, Lochgilphead, Tarbert and Campbeltown. Although the traffic volumes on the A83 are relatively low, there are no other landward means of transportation along this route and therefore much of Argyll is dependent on the A83.
