Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH CASTLE CAMPBELL SYNOPSIS Castle Campbell stands in lofty isolation on a narrow rocky spur at the head of Dollar Glen, 1 mile north of Dollar. The spur is cut off from the east, west and south by the ravines of the Burns of Care and Sorrow, whilst the Ochil Hills overlook it from the north. The castle has splendid views southward over the Forth valley. The site may be of some antiquity but the present castle complex most probably dates from the early 15th century. Initially called Castle Gloom, it became the Lowland residence of the Campbell earls of Argyll around 1465 – whence the name Castle Campbell. It remained with that powerful noble family until the 9th earl relocated to Argyll’s Lodging, Stirling, in the mid-17th century. Thereafter, the castle fell into ruin. The Campbell earls substantially rebuilt the lofty tower house that dominates the complex, then added a once-splendid but now substantially ruined hall range across the courtyard c.

All welcome!

Motto: Yield not to Adversity Kerr Doig Chairman Doig Family Society ********************************************************* Stirling, Scotland. - Right in the centre of Scotland, this is truly historic territory, linking the Highlands and Lowlands. Many famous folk have passed this way. Some had a dramatic role to play in Scotland’s story like King Robert the Bruce, Sir William Wallace and Mary Queen of Scots. Others made their contribution to literature and in passing through the area, left their written or poetic impressions. In this category Robert Burns stands foremost. Our own Dr David Doig was headmaster of the Grammar School in Stirling around 1787.
