Achanduin Castle, (also known as Achadun Castle and Acha-Dun), is a castle, now in ruins, located about 5.0 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of Achnacroish on the north-western coastline of the island of Lismore, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The castle overlooks Loch Linnhe and Bernera Island. The ruins are thought to date back to the thirteenth century. Achanduin Castle had long been thought to have been built by the Bishop of Argyll, though recent research has proved this to be unlikely. The castle was likely built by the MacDougalls around 1290 who held it throughout the fourteenth century. The castle was also thought to have been held by the Bishops of Argyll until the mid sixteenth century. It is a scheduled ancient monument.

  • Achanduin Castle, auch Achadun Castle oder Acha-Dun, ist eine Burgruine etwa 5 km westlich des Dorfes Achnacroish an der Nordwestküste der Insel Lismore in der schottischen Verwaltungseinheit Argyll and Bute. Die Ruinen liegen über dem Loch Linnhe und der Insel Bernera. Die Ruinen sollen aus dem 13. Jahrhundert stammen. Lange dachte man, dass der Bischof von Argyll Achanduin Castle hätte errichten lassen, aber jüngste Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass dies unwahrscheinlich ist. Die Burg ließ vermutlich der Clan MacDougall um 1290 errichten, der sie auch das ganze 14. Jahrhundert hindurch hielt. Man denkt auch, dass die Bischöfe von Argyll Achanduin Castle bis Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts hielten. (de)
