Castles and Ruins
This collection spans centuries of Scottish history, from the 13th-century hall-house of Rait Castle to the 18th-century artillery fortifications of Fort George. Highlights include the French-style chateau architecture of Dunrobin Castle, the Shakespearean associations of Cawdor, and the dramatic cliffside ruins of Keiss and Dunscaith. Many sites, such as Ardvreck and Loch an Eilein, occupy strategic positions on loch promontories and islands, reflecting the turbulent clan histories of the Highlands and the Isle of Skye.
