Carnasserie
Argyll
Scotland
The remains of Carnasserie Castle lay to the West of the A816, about a mile and a half North of Kilmartin, and about six miles South West of Ford.
Built between 1565 and 1572, the castle is a combination of Hall and Tower House, built by John Carswell, Bishop of the Isles, with some remodelling done during the 17th century.
The remains consist of the five storey tower house, three storey hall and a four storey stair tower.

We take our name ‘Cumbric’ from that of the language spoken in these parts before the fine language of English took over. You may or may not know, that whilst Cumbric is most closely associated with Cumbria, it were spoken all owert’ spot – reet acrosst’ north of England and southern Scotland and allsorts. And Cumbric.net welcomes peoples not only from Cumbria, but from further afield too.
