Home Sweet Home

Over the years, the Black Isle has seen a wide variety of dwelling houses ranging from the small fisher cottages of Avoch and Cromarty to the fortified houses and castles of medieval times.

Some of these early castle sites were demolished or fell into ruin or were incorporated into farmhouses.Some of the 18th and 19th-century mansion houses were also former castles which were restored and enlarged.
