The tower house was built in the late fifteenth century and was known as Castle Gloom. The castle was originally a property of the Clan Stuart, but passed by marriage to Colin Campbell, 1st Earl of Argyll, and Lord Chancellor of Scotland. [1] He had the name of the castle changed by an Act of Parliament to Castle Campbell in 1489. The Hall Range was constructed c.1500 and would have originally provided additional lodging and public reception.
