Aldourie Castle was built in 1626, the north wing and turrets added in 1850 and the whole building restored in or around 1900.
The noted historian and statesman Sir James MacKintosh born 1765, died 1832, lived the most of his childhood in the castle. The castle had no other historical association (Colonel A Cameron, Aldourie Castle, Dores).
The castle, a harled, three-storeyed building, is in good condition. (Visible on GP air photograph AO/62/114/2).
