Aldourie
Castle was originally a 15th century stone fortified laird's house, founded by the Dunbars. A mansion house of the Frasers, which consisted of a main block with a round tower on the south-west angle, was recorded here in 1626. In the mid 19th century, Sir Robert Lorimer added a west wing and absorbed the house, in the construction of a three storey Victorian Gothic Baronial mansion. 7 miles north-east is Inverness Castle and 16 miles north-east is Dalcross Castle.
Aldourie Castle is located north of Dores, on the east shore of Loch Ness. 7 miles south-west of Inverness, on the B862.
The castle is available on an exclusive use basis and also provides holiday cottage accommodation. The site is visible from the A82, across Loch Ness at Lochend.
There is a car park.
