I can’t find any references that can confirm that Castle Moil was also called 'Finandus Castle'. There is references of a castle by that name in Skye, but nothing linking the two. Thus, I took this name out. I hope the changes are satisfying.

I may have been mistaken when I used that as one of nick names, Findanus, was the Lord (or whatever you call him) that owned the castle. He was the guy who married Saucy Mary. So some of the references I saw refered to it as "Findanus Castle", because he was the resident. "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_MacKinnon" Pixitha 21:29, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Historical accuracy

Should the article perhaps be amended to indicate that the story of Saucy Mary and the chain across the strait is a legend, without any firm (or even plausible) historical basis? As I understand it, the present building (or what is left of it) probably dates back only to the 15th century.

The castle makes an enjoyably brief, child-friendly and rather boggy excursion from Kyleakin.

[edit] Not a broch

I removed the reference that this 15th century castle was a broch, and also removed the broch category. Lianachan (talk) 22:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
