What is recorded here
Dochmaluag House is a roofless medieval tower house in Highland, Scotland, built during the mid 17th century. It stands as a rectangular block two storeys and an attic high, with thick walls covered in ivy and a basement entrance on the north wall. Cromwell's troops were garrisoned there, and a barrel-vaulted ice house lies ten metres to the west. The much-reconstructed remains still mark the place where Mackenzie property and royal guest stories belong.
