# Talk:Dunstaffnage Castle

I added a new section for pictures and as you can see the "sources" section has squashed in between the pictures.  Gfours 12:12, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I've passed the article to GA. It demonstrates excellent prose, thorough citing, and covers all the major aspects of the castle. Furthermore, the wonderfully chosen pictures make me feel like I'm walking through the castle myself. --Meowist 07:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

You may want to consider using {{rp}} for the references used multiple times but with different page numbers. LaraLove 16:53, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Dunstaffnage Castle/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing Sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I assessed this article as well-written, well-illustrated, and compliant with these requirements.
Whilst the article was passed in 2007, I believe that it currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good Article.Pyrotec (talk) 18:44, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I see a gap in the history of the castle, after the seige of 1309, Robert the Bruce gave the castle into the keeping of Clan Arthur for their support to the The Bruce. MacArthur Cheif's held the castle until 1470 when it was given into the keeping of the Campbell's.
I would like to think that this should be documented in the history of the castle as nearly 150 years of ocupation is sugnificant.

It was a royal castle at that time. Bruce didn't give it to anyone. It was actually a Campbell—Sir Arthur Campbell—who was made constable of it, and was granted the lands attached to the castle for it's maintenance. I'm not sure the exact year of the grant is known for certain. Sir Arthur is known to have been granted a whole slew of lands in 1322 and 1329. Who were the later constables from this period? Are there any known for certain? Alastair Campbell of Airds states that there never was a 'MacArthur' constable, and that there are no grants to support such claims.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 06:55, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
