Erchless Castle, Tower house in Highland, Scotland

The stone tower house displays thick walls, narrow windows, and an L-shaped layout with a wing addition from 1895 at its northern end.

Built around 1600, the castle transferred from the Bissett family to the Chisholms in the 15th century through the marriage of Alexander de Chisholme.

The structure represents the traditional Scottish defensive architecture of Highland nobility, incorporating both military and residential design elements.

The castle stands near the River Deabhag, with surrounding walking paths offering access to the adjacent Category B listed walled garden.

Following multiple ownership changes, Baron and Baroness von Stackelberg acquired the estate in 1946 using funds from Baroness Phyllis' father's inheritance.
