Carnassary, a ruined castellated mansion in Kilmartin parish, Argyllshire, on an eminence at the head of Kilmartin valley. It was the residence of John Carsewell, rector of Kilmartin, and Bishop of the Isles from 1566 to 1572, who published in 1567 the first book printed in Gaelic, a translation of Knox's liturgy; afterwards it became the property and the occasional residence of the Campbells of Auchinbreck.
