Duncraig Castle, 19th-century castle in Highland, Scotland
Duncraig Castle stands on the southern shore of Loch Carron, featuring eighty rooms and two private islands within its 40-acre forested estate.
Built in 1866 for Member of Parliament Alexander Matheson, the castle later served as a naval hospital during World War II and a home economics college.
The castle incorporates Scottish Baronial architectural elements, designed by Alexander Ross using local materials that connect it to Highland building traditions.
Visitors can access the castle via the Kyle of Lochalsh railway line, stopping at Duncraig station, which opened in 1897 as a private transportation point.
The property includes an octagonal water tower, a chapel, a coach house, and maintains its own jetty for water access to the surrounding lochs.
