Kilcoy Castle is situated about eight miles from Inverness
|
at the western end of the Black Isle.
|
The property was acquired in 1618 by Alexander MacKenzie the fourth son of the eleventh MacKenzie laird of Kintail.
|
The tower was probably built soon after this, but the ornate fireplace lintel bears the date 1679.
|
The present owners of Kilcoy Castle, Mr and Mrs Nick McAndrew, have made some changes in the content and lay-out of the grounds.
|
Like the Robinsons before them, they too open the gardens periodically to the public.
