Could someone put right the main topic please?

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)[reply]

GA passed

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)[reply]

GA Reassessment

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)[reply]

Clan Arthur/MacArthur and Dunstaffnage Castle

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.
