Kilravock Castle, 15th-century category A listed castle in Highland, Scotland

Located between Inverness and Nairn, Kilravock Castle features a central tower house with additions made during the seventeenth century.

The castle received Queen Mary of Scots in 1562 and Prince Charles Edward Stuart visited four days before the Battle of Culloden.

The name Kilravock originates from Scottish Gaelic 'Cill Rathaig', translating to 'church at the small circular fort' in English.

The castle stands near the Moray Firth coastline, where visitors can observe seals and dolphins swimming in the waters.

The Rose family maintained unbroken direct male-line succession at Kilravock from 1293 until the late twentieth century.
