Aberscross was the residence of the Murrays who came to Sutherland in 1198. Scarcely a vestige remains of their seat, yet the green fields around it show where they lived.
J Mackay 1895; W Macfarlane 1906-8.
Aberscross depopulated site is centred at NC 769 001, but none of the remains could be identified as representing a tower. No further information.
