Kilmaluag Castle stands on Raasay as a medieval ruin, its stones weathered by centuries of Highland storms. The exact identity of its builders has faded, but the structure still marks human ambition on a remote island.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Raasay, Kilmaluag Castle as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Kilmaluag Castle on Raasay was likely built in the 16th century by the Macleod clan, who historically held the island. The castle is remembered as a symbol of medieval clan power in the Western Isles and as an example of early modern Scottish island architecture.
