Scope and Content Gun-port, south front of Castle Leod, near Strathpeffer, Highland Castle Leod was probably rebuilt after 1608 - the year Roderick Mackenzie received the estate from his brother - and enlarged a few years later. It fell into disuse in the 18th century and was restored, altered and extended in the 19th century. This gun-port pierces the front of the south extension of the east-west block. It was probably intended as much for show as for defence. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
