Muckrach Castle, Medieval castle in Dulnain Bridge, Scotland

The sixteenth-century stone structure features an L-shaped layout with a circular stair tower and a two-story watch chamber at the top.

Patrick Grant commissioned the castle in 1598 as the main residence for the Grants of Rothiemurchus, using timber and stone for the primary walls.

The shield above the main entrance displays the emblems of Patrick Grant and his wife Margaret Stewart with the inscription 'In God Is Al My Trest'.

The castle stands 30 miles southeast of Inverness, off the A938 road, and provides parking facilities for visitors.

The building remained abandoned and without a roof from 1739 until 1978, when architect Ian Begg began a complete restoration of the structure.
