Old Photographs Dunderave Castle Scotland
Old photograph of Dunderave Castle, Loch Fyne, Scotland. An L-plan Scottish castle built in the 16th century as the Scottish seat of the MacNaughton clan. Clan Macnaghten, sometimes spelt as MacNachten or MacNaughton. is a Scottish clan. The Clan Macnaghten are amongst the Scottish clans who claim descent from the early Pictish rulers of the Mormaer of Moray. The name Nectan means pure or clear and was popular in at least one Pictish royal branch. Three brothers are recorded in the thirteenth century: Gilchrist, Athe and Gilbert, all sons of Malcolm Macnachten. In 1297 Gilchrist received a charter from King Alexander III of Scotland which granted to him the keepership of a castle warding the narrow Pass of Brander, which was the gateway to the west.
