Concerned about previous changes[edit]

Partisan and incorrect previous changes:

Ammendment: However, the condition of the castle is a matter of controversy, with many local people and interested parties stating that the condition of the castle has been relatively stable for many years with only minor rectification required. Whether the northwest curtain wall collapsed in or prior to 2000 is also open to question, since there is no discernable damage evident to observers.

Fact: The Castle was closed by Highland Council. The collapse of the base of the curtain wall was substantial and Highland Council/Historic Scotland both granted permission for temporary repairs. It is deliberately misleading to suggest that the collapse, the results of which I saw whilst walking my dog, never occurred.

Ammendment:the fact that they had substantially outbid a charitable trust in order to purchase the property

Fact: There were 9 bids; the charitable trust was third. The bid was led by Ranald MacDonald of Clanranald, who later stated in the press on several occasions that he supported the new owner's plans, and Councillor Michael Foxley of Highland Council (who also subsequently expressed support). The later link to said charitable trust suggests a rather partisan source.

Wiki is meant to be neutral and accurate; shame on those that made the changes.

Owners[edit]

What about a list of owners? Such as Alexander Maguire et al?

The Times article 27 June 2011: "Tycoon is king of the castle after winning battle to restore ancient clan stronghold"[edit]

Castle or island?[edit]

The article title and the content are about the castle, but we have an infobox relating to the island on which it stands. There's little point in having separate articles, as there's nothing else on the island. What's the best way to reconcile that? Jellyman (talk) 15:24, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
