    Aonghus Óg of Islay - Wikipedia
    According to the highly reliable fourteenth-century poem The Brus, Aonghus Óg
    played an instrumental part in Robert's survival and was ever loyal to the Bruce.
    Specifically, this source relates that, after Robert was defeated at Methven and Dalrigh\in the summer of 1306, the king fled into the mountains and made for the coast of Kintyre,
    where he was protected by Aonghus Óg himself at Dunaverty Castle.
    Dunyvaig_Castle_20120411_from_northwest_across_Lagavulin_Bay.
    Now-ruinous Dunyvaig Castle. It is conceivable that Robert I found refuge at this Clann Domhnaill fortress in 1306.[66]
    Whether he was harboured at the hands of Aonghus Óg himself or some other rival chieftain is uncertain


    [60] Although the Bruce maintains that Aonghus Óg harboured the king at Dunaverty Castle,[61] contemporary evidence reveals that Robert I's men were already in possession of the fortress by March, having acquired it from a certain Malcolm le fitz l'Engleys.[62] In fact, in the immediate aftermath of John Comyn's death, Robert secured control of several western fortresses (including that of Dunaverty), seemingly in an effort to keep a lane open for military assistance from Ireland or the Hebrides
