Castlecraig
From Wikishire
Castlecraig, also known as Craig Castle and Castle Craig, is a 16th-century fortification located on the north shore of the Black Isle in Cromartyshire. It is on the south coast of the Cromarty Firth, three miles north-east of Culbokie. The castle is protected as a category A listed building,[1] and as a scheduled monument.[2]
Castlecraig is a ruined tower house. The north-east wing still stands and remains roofed, although another wing to the north-west has collapsed. The tower may have been used as a residence by the post-Reformation Bishops of Ross.[3]
