Shandon Castle, Cork
Shandon Castle, originally known as Lord Barry's Castle, was an early medieval castle in the Shandon area of Cork city in Ireland. It was built in the late 12th century by Philip de Barry, close to an earlier ringfort. Located outside the city's gates and defensive walls, the castle was a seat of the Cambro-Norman de Barry family for several centuries. From the late 16th century, Shandon Castle became an official residence of the President of Munster, and a "centre of English administration" in the area. In the early 17th century, during the Nine Years' War, a number of Gaelic Irish lords (and their supporters) were imprisoned there by then President George Carew. Some of those held here, including James FitzThomas FitzGerald and Florence MacCarthy Mór, were later transferred to the Tower of London. Others, like Dominic Collins who was imprisoned here after the Siege of Dunboy, were later executed. Early 17th century maps show the castle as a "two towered structure" with a su ...

Faslane Castle and Shandon Castle were two mediaeval Scottish castles which once stood between the village of Garelochhead and the town of Helensburgh, near the shores of the Gareloch, in Argyll and Bute.

At that time period, they were situated in within the mormaerdom of Lennox, which was controlled by the mormaers of Lennox.

Shandon, Edinburgh
Shandon is an area of Edinburgh within North Merchiston approximately three miles west of the centre of Edinburgh. It is bounded by Slateford Road to the north, Harrison Road to the east, the Union Canal to the south and the Glasgow-Edinburgh Shotts Line and Suburban rail lines to the west. Etymology Harris states that the name is presumably related to Shandon on the Gareloch, near Helensburgh. Robert Napier (1791–1876) the famous marine engineer built the mansion of West Shandon at Shandon, Dumbartonshire in 1851 situated on the east shore of the Gareloch. There does not seem to be a connection with the Napier family of Merchiston on whose ground the Edinburgh streets were constructed and a mistake could have occurred here in tracing the history of the wrong "Napier" in selecting names for these streets. Shandon Conservation Area Shandon contains the Shandon Conservation Area, which was originally designated on 29 March 1996. The conservation area is bound to the no ...
