What is recorded here
Brahan Castle, Parkland occupies a small Highland footprint in Ross and Cromarty, preserving a post-medieval landscape rather than a standing tower. The parkland likely shaped the castle estate, giving grounds for walking, working or watching the land around Urray. Much of its history has faded from formal notice, but the boundary between garden and wild ground still marks how people once lived beside the castle.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brahan Castle, Parkland as Park (period Unassigned). 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.
Brahan Castle, located in Parkland, was built by the Mackenzie family in the 16th century and later held by the Mackenzie of Kintail lineage. It is remembered for its historical association with the Clan Mackenzie and its strategic significance in the Scottish Highlands.
