Notable events include: A 1429 diplomatic meeting between representatives of King James I and the Lord of the Isles. A three-day visit by Mary, Queen of Scots in 1563. The infamous 1570 "Roasting of the Commendator," where Gilbert Kennedy, 4th Earl of Cassilis, tortured Allan Stewart (Commendator of Crossraguel Abbey) over a fire in the castle's Black Vault to force him to sign over abbey lands.
