Archaeologists found a 12th–13th-century castle at Finlaggan, Scotland, linked to the Lordship of the Isles.
Archaeologists have discovered a previously unknown 12th- to 13th-century castle at Finlaggan on Islay, Scotland, according to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, announced September 17, 2025.
Excavations from 1989 to 1998 by David Caldwell revealed stone foundations, cobbled surfaces, a causeway, and a large central tower, indicating a major stronghold.
The site likely served as a political and ceremonial center for the Lordship of the Isles, a semi-independent Gaelic kingdom active from the 1300s to 1500s.
Artistic reconstructions and artifacts suggest a fortified complex with significant power and wealth, highlighting the region’s role in medieval Scottish history.
