What is recorded here

Castle Stuart is a stone tower built about 1625 for the Earl of Moray, not the older Hallhill Castle remembered in its name. Rooms still warm, stairs still turning, the house keeps giving back life instead of waiting to be destroyed. The ancient name may be a mistake, but the stones are not pretending; they are still doing what castles do, holding people and time together.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Stuart as Sheepfold (period Unknown). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Built by the Stuart family in the 13th century, Castle Stuart is remembered as a historic seat of the Earls of Moray and for its strategic role in the Scottish Wars of Independence.
