Dalcross Castle

The castle, built in 1620 comes complete with turrets, massive studded oak gates and doors, a stone spiral stairwell, fireplaces, arrow slits and shot holes as well as a magnificent Great Hall ideal for entertaining up to 50 guests. It epitomises the romantic Scottish castle down to its historic associations with two great Highland clans, the Frasers who built it and the Macintoshes who held it during the Jacobite uprising of 1745. (The head of the clan hosted the Duke of Cumberland and his troops at Dalcross on the eve of the Battle of Culloden while the Laird’s wife raised her own troops in support of Bonnie Prince Charlie!)

Dalcross Castle is an ideal location for special events such as weddings or anniversaries or just a truly unique and exclusive holiday in a setting of complete comfort and luxury. The owners have brought the accommodation into the 21^st century with beautiful fabrics, superb bathrooms and a spacious state of the art kitchen, while retaining the castle’s special atmosphere with subtle lighting, fine antique furnishings and art works. Guests may linger by the log fires or in the extensive gardens, first laid out in the 18^th century and now planted with many rare and unusual specimens. The gardens, including a lovely ornamental pond, are perfect for a wedding marquee and photography. Guests may also explore the estate, woodland home to red squirrels, badgers, deer, owls, hawks, wild duck and song birds.
