Description:

Castle Coeffin on the island of Lismore is a much ruined and overgrown 13^th century hall house and courtyard of the MacDougalls of Lorn.  It passed in the second half of the 15^th century to the Campbells of Glenorchy, but was probably abandoned by the 17^th century. The Campbells held the island until the 18^th century.  The castle is said to be named after Caifen, the son of a Norse King who lived there.
