Caisteal Mhic Sneacail

Castle (medieval)

What is recorded here

Caisteal Mhic Sneacail, Mac Nicholson's Castle, stood in Lochbroom during the medieval period, though no wall or stone remains visible today. Around 1900, a man named Matheson still saw a low rise about two metres high, but he could not tell a castle from a mound. The names Castle House and Castle Terrace still surround the site, preserving the shape of what disappeared.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Caisteal Mhic Sneacail as Castle (medieval). 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.
