What is recorded here

Foulis Castle is a listed Highland mansion where the Munros have lived since the 13th century, though its bright neo-Classical rooms now cover older wounds. The house displays datestones from 1754, 1777 and 1792, yet darker fragments from the 16th and 17th centuries still crouch in its basement and courtyard. A sarking board taken from its roof was dated to after 1690, preserving a ghost of the building that fire or war may have consumed before the present walls rose.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Foulis Castle as Sundial(s) (period Unassigned). 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.
Foulis Castle, located in Ross and Cromarty, Scotland, was built by the Clan Munro in the 16th century and later held by the Mackenzie Earls of Seaforth. It is remembered for its strategic importance in the northern Highlands and for its distinctive circular tower house design.
