Full Description
Castlehill {NR}
OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1906)
Castlehill is said to have been fortified in ancient times, by a keep or tower of which no trace remains.
Name Book 1868; NSA (A Rose, A Clark, R Macpherson) 1845.
No further information was obtained regarding Castlehill. Only the main part of the house is of any great age; the two wings to the rear are of modern construction. No date stone was seen in the older part of the house but it would appear to be possibly of early 19th Century or late 18th Cent.
Visited by OS (W D J) 24 April 1962.
