On Kerrera Island, the group visited the ruin of Castle Gylen, once owned by Clan MacDougall. During one of the religious wars, General Leslie and a Covenanter army besieged and burned the castle.
Next we went to Castle Gylen
On the fair Kerrera Island
Clan MacDougall, from the highland
Made it their hame
‘Til Leslie came by boat and dry land
And put it to flame.
With his army, covenanter
Dour folk, no drink nor banter
Not like drunken Tam O’Shanter
Who in the dark,
Bewitched, called out to his enchanter
“Weel done, Cutty Sark.”
