Castle Roy, Nethy Bridge

Highland – Badenoch & Strathspey

Castle Roy is an 12th century fortress built by the Clan Comyn on a small glacial mound to the north of the modern village of Nethy Bridge. In 1420 the whole area came under the stewardship of the Clan Grant who are still the clan of this area today. With its walls still standing 25 feet high, the castle is a simple, irregular four-sided stronghold that has been largely unaltered over the centuries and is, according to recent carbon dating, 1190 - 1220, is one of the oldest unchanged castles of its type in Scotland.
