The original castle was thought to have been built sometime in the 12th century, and part of the remains of the original castle were said to have existed in the 19th century.〔 Today, that sole remaining tower is used as a navigational aid for shipping on the Firth of Clyde. Because of its use as a lighthouse the tower has been called Ardencaple Castle Light. ==Lairds of Ardincaple== The word ''Ardencaple'' or ''Ardincaple'' has been said to be derived from the Gaelic ''Ard na gCapull'', meaning "cape of the horses", or "of the mares", or "height of the horses".〔 In 1351 this place name was recorded as ''Airdendgappil''. From the Middle Ages the lands of Ardencaple were controlled by the Lairds of Ardincaple. By the late 15th century or 16th century the lairds had adopted the surname ''MacAulay''. By this time the Laird of Ardincaple was considered the clan chief of Clan MacAulay. The fortunes of the Lairds of Ardincaple failed in the 18th century. These chiefs of Clan MacAulay were forced to divide and sell, piece by piece, the lands once governed by former lairds of Ardincaple. In the 1740s, Archibald MacAulay, Laird of Ardencaple, had to sell off a portion of his estate, though by the early 1750s the roof had fallen in〔 and the overall condition of the castle had deteriorated to such an extent that the next Laird was forced to abandon his residence there and live in nearby Laggarie. In about 1767, the 12th chief, Aulay MacAulay, died at High Laggarie (now within the present village of Rhu).〔(Village History ) rhu.org.uk.
