Muckrach Castle Grantown-on-Spey

This castle, restored as a private residence and holiday let, was constructed in 1598 by Patrick Grant, 2^nd son of John 4^th Laird of Grant. This Patrick became the ancestor of the Grants of Rothiemurchus. Standing on the top of a steep bank in the valley of the River Dulnain about 4 miles from Grantown, it is a typical Scottish tower house built to a very simple L-plan, with a main block of three storeys, a garret and a circular stairway. Derelict for centuries, the castle was restored by architect Ian Begg from 1978-85, who has also left his mark with the St Mungo Museum in Glasgow and the Scandic Crown Hotel in Edinburgh's Royal Mile.
