[Parish] is Castle Swen which stands on a rock close to the sea & commands a very extensive view of the country. The date of its erection is not known; but is evidently the work of different ages. The walls display great strength of masonry. They are about 7 feet in thickness, 35 ft in height & including Macmillan's Tower. Probably Macmillan's Tower was built much later as its walls are considerably thinner. Immemorial tradition bears that the Castle was built by Suine Mac righ Lochlan, Swein or Sweno, Prince of Denmark, - towards the [beginning of the] 11th Century. This fortress commanded the entrance to Lochswen & was regarded as the key of the Districts of Knapdale & Glassary, & as such it was deemed a position of the greatest importance In the end of the 13th Century, Knapdale appears in the posession of a certain Sweins de Ergadia, known in tradition as Swen Ruadh or Swen the Red, Thane of Glassary & Knapdale & from him it is said the Castle took its name & there are strong grounds for thinking that he was ancestor of the Macneills".

Tradition doubts if they mark the place of interment of the heroes of former ages; the surmise is that they are brought from "Iona". "In the Church-yard where vestiges of former thoughts are found, and the ruined Chapel, there is a considerable number of flat grave stones, ornamented with the Shears & Sword, which form So common an embellishment of the memorials of the dead throughout the western Islands; but there is only one which Seems to have had any description on it, and that is so weather wasted as to be now illegible. It is not easy to account for such a number of stones, evidently Commemorative of distinguished dead as are to be seen in this Small and Seuestered Cemetry. There is a kind of tradition that they were brought from Iona, and the Circimstance of the interior of the Chapel being so Crowded with them, and of the elevation at which some of them lie being Considerably above what Can be still traced as the original
