Faslane Castle, Shandon Castle, and St Michael's Chapel

About

Faslane Castle and Shandon Castle were two mediaeval Scottish castles which once stood near the shores of the Gareloch, in Dunbartonshire, between the locations which later became the village of Garelochhead and town of Helensburgh. In the 19th century, the castles were thought to have dated back to the Middle Ages. At that time period, they were situated in within the mormaerdom of Lennox, which was controlled by the mormaers of Lennox.

Today nothing remains of Faslane Castle; though in the 19th century certain ruins of Shandon Castle were said to have still existed. Near the site of Faslane Castle sits the ruinous St Michael's Chapel, which has also been thought to date to the Middle Ages.
