Description:

The castle, built on an island in a loch and now in ruins, dates back to the 13^th century. It was later occupied by the English and was visited by Edward I in 1303 when he stayed here for 9 days. At the end of the 14^th century, it was gifted by Robert II to his son Alexander Stewart the notorious Wolf of Badenoch who sacked the royal burgh of Elgin and its fine cathedral. King James II ordered the castle to be demolished around 1455 after a rebellion against the king.
