Scope and Content The girnal at Foulis Point, at bottom of picture, dates to the C18 and was in use into the C20. Known locally as Foulis Ferry, it has recently operated as a restaurant, a farm shop and Munro family museum. A new building has been added and it now (2021) operates as a shop and restaurant. It is also marketed as a place where visitors can watch the seals and bird life of the Cromarty Firth. In the bay to the left there is a fish trap and a landing point. Foulis Castle and Mains of Foulis Farm are at top of picture. The Munros have occupied this site since the C13/C14 and the present castle is an C18 building with evidence of earlier features. Mains of Foulis is a C18 farmstead. There is a burial cairn called Cnoc an Tempuill in the field to the left of the castle.
