Amhuinnsuidhe Castle, Category A listed building in Harris, Scotland.

The four-story castle features rounded corners, a corner turret, and battlements, constructed from imported freestone with stugged and snecked ashlar masonry.

Architect David Bryce designed this residence between 1864 and 1867 for Charles Murray, 7th Earl of Dunmore, whose grandfather acquired Harris Island in 1834.

The castle inspired J.M. Barrie during his stay in 1912, influencing elements of his play Mary Rose through the mysterious nearby Loch Voshimid.

The castle operates as a country house hotel, offering accommodations and venues for weddings, corporate events, fishing activities, and shooting parties.

The castle's position requires walls both front and back, as it sits in a narrow space between the ocean and a hill at coordinates 57.961379, -6.990431.
