Dunans Castle
Dunans Castle is a historic structure located in Glendaruel, on the Cowal peninsula, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. A property at Dounens was shown on maps in 1590; Dunans House was elaborated into its present mock castle form in 1864. Once part of a much larger estate the property presently includes of ground and in 2001, was ruined by fire.
==History==
For over two centuries Dunans was home to the Fletcher Clan who moved to the site between 1715 and 1745 carrying with them the door of their previous home at Achallader Castle (the door was used for the private chapel and was reported missing in 1999).〔(Missing door is 700 years old.(News) - Daily Record (Glasgow, Scotland) | HighBeam Research )〕 The original mansion-style house (to the left in the picture) was extended into its present dramatic Franco-baronial "castle" form by the architect Andrew Kerr with the additions consisting of four main apartments and 6 bedrooms. The building passed out of Fletcher hands in 1997 when the entire 3000 acre Dunans estate was sold off by Colonel Archibald Fletcher's heirs and subsequently split up. the Category B listed castle was gutted by fire on 14 January 2001 while being run as a hotel and the building was left as a ruin. The fire began in the attic space of the castle section and destroyed three floors with only the pre Victorian west wing surviving undamaged.〔 The owner Ewa Lucas-Gardener had ignored fire safety experts warnings that the building's fireplaces were unsafe Now under new ownership, the site, including a Victorian path network, has undergone some restoration supported by the Dunans Charitable Trust.
The castle was reported to have three resident ghosts.
