Invergordon Castle was originally a 13th century earthwork fortress, called Inverbreakie. The site was founded by a Fleming, who was possibly placed there, by William the Lion. In the early 18th century, the estate was purchased by Sir William Gordon and he enlarged or rebuilt the stone tower house on the site. In the early 19th century, a fire destroyed the tower house and in 1873 its remains were absorbed in the construction of a Elizabethan style mansion house. Owned by the MacLeods of Cadboll, in 1928 the house was completely demolished and the grounds are now occupied by a golf course. Visit pending. 10 miles south-west is Foulis Castle and 18 miles north is Skibo Castle.
