What is recorded here
Corra Castle stands ruined above Corra Linn, its sharp cliffs and hidden ha-ha proving that bravery, not walls, defined the Somerville residence. Built in 1572, it still faces the waterfall like a guard forgotten by time. The Scottish Wildlife Trust now tends the stones, inviting visitors to measure how much danger a house can hold before it becomes a story.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Corra Castle as Castle (16th Century). 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.
Corra Castle was built in the 16th century and is associated with the historical development of defensive and noble architecture in Scotland. Its precise location and condition contribute to the understanding of regional castle-building practices during the late medieval period.
