"The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne. A Highland Story" is a gothic novel by Ann Radcliffe first published in London by Thomas Hookham in 1789.
The novel is a set in a powerful landscape which became familiar in her later work, with complex clan feuds and mysterious romantic intrigues played out against a backdrop of ruined medieval castles and rugged Scottish coastlines. Although the passions of its protagonists, particularly low born Alleyn's love for Mary Osbert, dominate the plot, the castles of the title are as central to the narrative, establishing an enduring Gothic trope.
