ARTORNISH, ruined ancient castle on coast of Morvern parish, Argyleshire. It was a great stronghold of the Lords of the Isles, and a meeting-place of their national councils ; is graphically described as restored by his imagination in Sir "Walter Scott's Lord of the Isles, and consists now of little else than remains of a tower and fragments of outworks.
