Description
Just ten miles East of Inverness, this was built in 1625 as a traditional tower house. When living in these cramped conditions went out of favour the castle fell into ruin for 300 years. A local family who by good luck also were called Stuart restored the roofless pile of stone over a 15 year timespan.It is now available to hire as a wedding venue or as holiday accomodation. The decorations have been designed to appeal to those who love the Tartan Scotland style which fits neatly into Themepark Britain industry(The UK once had a thriving industrial base but now thats nearly all gone leaving the UK with Tourism and financial services as its main way of earning a living)

You have to commend the current Stuart's as they restored it to it's former glory, whereas here in the states, they tear down and rebuild bigger and seldom 'better'.

Well after two Stuarts losing the throne, I guess they had find something to do for a living. Just compare what can be done with a beautiful old building to Bibbybear's sorry castle tale in the same "Historical" gallery. Your usual excellent image!
