Laundry (19th Century) - (20th Century)

What is recorded here

Balnagown Castle, Laundry stands in Ross and Cromarty as a surviving laundry from the nineteenth century, still marked on the official map near NH 7628 7530. It is not a grand castle chamber but a working building where water, soap and human muscle turned cloth clean for nearby lives. The name suggests a later castle memory, yet the structure itself belongs to domestic labour and local service.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Balnagown Castle, Laundry as Laundry (19th Century) - (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Balnagown Castle, Laundry was part of the Balnagown Estate, held by the Mackenzie family, and dates primarily from the 19th to 20th centuries. It is remembered as an example of estate ancillary buildings associated with one of Scotland's historic clan seats.
