What is recorded here

Aberscross in Sutherland, Scotland, was the seat of a minor Murray family who descended from the Earls of Sutherland rather than the larger Clan Murray. Richard de Moravia defended the coast at the Battle of Embo in 1245, and his descendants held nearby lands for two centuries. The castle may have stood as a medieval tower house, though only a possible ruin remains in the official record.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Aberscross as Tower House (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Aberscross is a medieval tower house in Scotland, possibly built in the 15th or 16th century by a local landholding family. It is remembered as an example of the defensive and domestic architecture of the Scottish Lowlands during the late medieval period.
