Asgog Castle

Asgog Castle, situated on the northwest shore of the Asgog Loch, on the Cowal peninsula, Argyll and Bute, west of Scotland, was once the home of a cadet branch of Clan Lamont. It was first recorded in 1581, but may be mid-15th-century in date. In 1646, the castle was besieged and eventually destroyed by Clan Campbell, during the conflict now known as the Dunoon massacre. Only three walls of the keep are now standing; of the courtyard, there are no identifiable remains.
