Scope and Content King James Bridge, grounds, Balnagown Castle, near Milton of Kildary, Highland Balnagown Castle was built before 1490 as a tower-house. Extensions in 1593 and 1668-72 created an L-plan layout. Then, in 1763, Admiral Ross had a block built in the angle, so giving the castle its present rectangular ground-plan. The King James Bridge is said to have been named after King James IV who often used it on his way to the Shrine of St Duthac at Tain. It was restored in the early 17th century.
