Our tour poster

Castle Craig was occupied by the Bishops of Ross and then by the Urquharts

sketched by painter JMW Turner from a boat in 1831

from MacGibbon in 1889

enough talk — on we go down!

the visitors stream past the old Urquhart keep

there was once talk of a goblin looking out these windows

but the only spirits were illicit whisky

the visitors are astonished at the contrast

between the intact east end with corbelled walkway, and the hollowed out west end

down the bank to the former courtyard, and it starts to rain

the doorway out to the corbelled walkway

Castle Craig from the north, beside the sea wall

a portion of the defensive courtyard wall on the left

access to Castle Craig was from the sea

and it looks directly over to Easter Ross

hope those Wellie boots do not leak!

one last look at the romantic Castle Craig

and we wish Clan Urquhart well with their current restoration proposals
