Argyll and Bute showing the location of Cairnburgh Castle. Tiree is to the west, Mull to the east and Coll to the northwest.

Iselborgh or Isleborg is a fortification of uncertain location on the western seaboard of Scotland. Suggested sites for the castle are: Cairn na Burgh Beag, the smaller islet that forms part of Cairnburgh Castle; a former castle in Loch an Eilien on Tiree; and somewhere on the nearby islands of Mull and Coll.

There are a few written records of the castle's existence from the 14th to the late 15th century indicating its presence off the coast of Argyll. The name may mean simply "island fort".
