Duntroon Castle, an ancient baronial fortalice, repaired and modernised into a comfortable mansion, in Kilmartin parish, Argyllshire, on a headland projecting from the northern shore of Loch Crinan, 4 miles SW of Kilmartin village. Long the seat of the Campbells of Duntroon, it was unsuccessfully besieged by Colkitto in 1644; now it belongs to Malcolm of Poltalloch, and presents an imposing appearance as seen from the Crinan Canal.
