  • Ardencaple Castle, also known as Ardincaple Castle, and sometimes referred to as Ardencaple Castle Light, is a listed building, situated about a statute mile from Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Today, all that remains of the castle is a tower, perched on the edge of a plateau, looking down on a flat tract of land between it and the shore of the Firth of Clyde. The original castle was thought to have been built sometime in the 12th century, and part of the remains of the original castle were said to have existed in the 19th century. Today, that sole remaining tower is used as a navigational aid for shipping on the Firth of Clyde. Because of its use as a lighthouse the tower has been called Ardencaple Castle Light.
  • Le château d'Ardencaple, ou Ardincaple, est un monument classé de catégorie B depuis le 14 mai 1971, se trouvant à environ 1,5 km d'Helensburgh, dans la région administrative écossaise d'Argyll and Bute. Aujourd'hui, les seuls vestiges du château sont sa tour, perchée au bord d'un plateau et surmontant les plaines s'étendant jusqu'aux rivages du Firth of Clyde. Cette tour est utilisée comme phare pour faciliter la navigation sur le Firth of Clyde, ce qui vaut au château l'autre nom d’Ardencaple Castle Light. Le château d'origine aurait été construit au XII siècle et certains des vestiges de cette première réalisation auraient encore été debout au XIX siècle.
