What is recorded here

Castle Craig is a four-storey tower house built in the early 17th century by the Urquharts on a cliff edge in Highland, Scotland. It stands beside a ruined curtain wall and grassy mound, with its west side open to the sea and its vaulted floors still intact beneath a corbelled parapet. Local tradition holds the site as an occasional residence for the Bishops of Ross, though that use may have come later. The castle is scheduled as a monument and listed at category A, yet coastal erosion continues to undercut the crag below it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Craig as Carved Stone (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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
