(NH 6153 6568) Balconie House (NAT)
OS 6" map, (1959).
Balconie Castle is on the site of one of the castles occupied by the Earls of Ross.
N Macrae 1923.
Balconie House is a derelict four storey building. There is no trace of a former building to be seen. It is perhaps significant that the position is opposite Castlecraig (NH66SW 2) which stands on the SE shore of Cromarty Firth and it is believed locally that a castle guarded the firth on each side here.
Visited by OS (R D) 5 May 1963.
