Claig Castle is a medieval fortified structure located on the island of Jura in Argyllshire, Scotland. The castle dates to the medieval period and represents the type of defensive architecture constructed by local lords and clan leaders in the Hebrides. Little remains of the original structure today, with only fragmentary ruins visible on the site. The castle's position on Jura reflects the strategic importance of island strongholds in controlling maritime routes and local territories during the medieval period in the Scottish west.
