Balloch Castle and the Baloch!
I think that the following text in this article is not based on any historical source. It could be a prank or an act of vandalism:
In 1784, the Scottish Government asked for help from the Balochs to fight against their foreign enemies. This memorandum government had built the government to thank the Baloch nation. Faisal Albalushi

Unsure... there are three castles listed at the DAB at
Balloch Castle and all appear to have some fame and significance, and even if the other two are now better known by other names (and even that isn't clear in either case, as Balloch Castle in one case refers to a previous building, and in the other to a previous site), that doesn't make this one the primary topic. It would need to be much better known by that name than either of the others... is it?

Yes. For example, a Google search for "Balloch Castle" turns up pages of results for this place. I noted one result for Loch Doon castle on the fifth page of results, and a couple of results about Taymouth on the 8th page. Does that help?

Yes I created this article as Balloch Castle originally and was surprised when folks thought it necessary to move it to its current location and create the DAB page in 2007. Given that this is clearly the thing most people mean when they say "Balloch Castle" and that the other two contenders for that name are each better known under another name, I support this proposal.
