Craig Castle NH 631 638 NH66SW 2
This commodious tower-house was built in the late 16th or early 17th century, traditionally by the Urquhart family, Barons of Cromarty; it was later occupied by the Bishops of Ross. The roofed NE wing has vaulted floors and a corbelled parapet; a wing which probably extended to the NW, and a stairway in the re-entrant angle, have fallen to ruin. There is a courtyard to the N and what may be an oven to the E.
