Castle StuartCastle Stuart is a restored tower house on the banks of the Moray Firth, about six and a half miles north-east of Inverness. It is within Inverness-shire, close to the bounds of Nairnshire. The land the castle was built on was granted to James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray by his half-sister, Mary, Queen of Scots, following her return to Scotland in 1561 and was finally completed by his grandson, James Stuart in 1625. It fell into disuse after the Civil War and waited 300 years for restoration. It is now a luxury hotel. (Read more) |
