Newmore Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Highland, Scotland

The three-story fortification stands near Alness, with its ground floor entrance protected by gun ports and a barrel-vaulted roof structure.

Built in 1625, Newmore Castle belonged to George Munro, who commanded forces for King Charles II after the restoration of the Stuart monarchy.

The castle features architectural elements of Scottish defensive structures, including a stair turret that provided access to the first-floor ceremonial hall.

Visitors can locate the castle at coordinates 57.7197 latitude and -4.21861 longitude, north of the town of Alness in Ross and Cromarty.

The property belonged to Andrew Munro, called Black Andrew of the Seven Castles, as he maintained seven separate castle estates in the region.
