Coeffin Castle is a late medieval fortified structure located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The castle dates from the fifteenth or sixteenth century and represents the type of defensible domestic architecture characteristic of the Scottish Highlands during this period. The site occupies a strategic position commanding local territory, typical of castles built by regional magnates to assert control and authority. Like many fortifications of its era in the west of Scotland, Coeffin Castle reflects the practical military and residential requirements of its time, though its precise building history and phases of occupation remain subjects of ongoing archaeological study.
