What is recorded here

Muckrach Castle rose in 1598 as the proud seat of the Grants of Rothiemurchus, binding timber inside stone walls because forest craft trusted wood more than cut rock. Patrick Grant built it for display rather than mere defence, giving the remote Highland a fashionable tower that announced his family before guns ever fired. The roof fell away in 1739, leaving the chamber open to rain and memory until Ian Begg returned it to life in 1985. It still stands near Dulnain Bridge, no longer a fortress but a inhabited room where the old pride of Clan Grant continues to breathe.
