What is recorded here
Castle Stuart stands in Highland, a large mansion built by the Earl of Moray about 1625. The date 1625 appears on stones set high in the front and rear walls, marking the moment this place took its final shape. A predecessor of the present Earl became Baron Stuart of Castle Stuart in 1796, tying the family name to the building itself. The castle is still inhabited, its rooms occupied and its stones unchanged since the seventeenth century.
