What is recorded here

Castle Grant stands in the Highland as a medieval foundation swallowed by an 18th century reconstruction, preserving only one original wing with its corbelled parapet. Sir Ludovic Grant ordered John Adam to envelop the old structure between 1753 and 1783, forcing masons to hew heavy stone for new stairs while removing two turrets to make way for a larger central door. The castle became ruinous after leaving human occupation, but the layered building work still shows how Grant families kept shaping the same place across generations.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Grant as Castle (medieval). 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.

Castle Grant was built by the Grant family in the 15th century and is remembered as a historic seat of the Clan Grant in the Scottish Highlands. It is important as a symbol of the clan's power and heritage in the region.
