Dalcross Castle is an early 17th century stone L-plan tower house, founded by Simon Fraser, 8th Lord Lovat. Built on a commanding eminence overlooking the Moray Firth, the castle is of two offset three and five storey blocks, with a projecting square stair-tower in the re-entrant angle. In the early 18th century, the Macintoshes added a northern two storey wing, which was altered in an Arts and Crafts style by Carruthers, a local architect. A marshalling point for Hanoverian troops prior to the Battle of Culloden, the castle later became an abandoned ruin, until being restored for habitation again, in the late 19th century. Visit pending. 2 miles south is Cantraydoune and 9 miles west is Inverness Castle.
