What is recorded here

Duncraig Castle stands in Highland, Scotland, as a post medieval country house dating from 1560 AD to 1900 AD. Its walled garden, stables and laundry suggest a busy domestic world where people tended horses, washed clothes and grew food beside the main building. The castle may have been joyful in summer, crowded with laughter and the smell of baking bread, before quiet and rain took those lives back.
Duncraig Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Highland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Duncraig Castle was built by the Clan Donald in the 13th or 14th century and later held by the Mackenzies of Kintail. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold in the Scottish Highlands and as the site of a significant 15th-century battle between the Mackenzies and the Clan Donald.
