Abstract: Excavations were carried out at several points around the late 13th-century Inverlochy Castle between 1983 and 1995.In 1983 the interior of the north-east tower and the area immediately outside its entrance were excavated; and part of what is believed to be an 18th-century building was uncovered against the outside face of the north curtain wall.In 1989 the interior of the south-west tower and the adjacent part of the courtyard were investigated.Exploratory trenching outside the south curtain wall in 1994 explored the relationship between a putative barbican and a stone-revetted terrace, perhaps a gun platform.Excavation at the north end of the courtyard in 1995 revealed traces of a building set against the north curtain wall and, within the north-west corner, a single human skeleton.The project was funded by Historic Scotland and its predecessor department, Historic Buildings & Monuments.
