Cluny Castle, Category A listed castle in Highland, Scotland

The granite stone castle stands with a three-axis main facade near the left bank of River Spey, featuring two floors and traditional Scottish design elements.

Following the Battle of Culloden in 1746, government forces under the Duke of Cumberland destroyed the original Cluny Castle, leading to its reconstruction around 1800.

The MacPherson clan, part of the Clan Chattan confederation, established Cluny Castle as their residence in the 14th or 15th century.

The castle complex includes separately classified category B buildings, such as stables located 200 meters northwest and the East Lodge near the A86 road.

Andrew Carnegie rented Cluny Castle in the late 19th century before acquiring Skibo Castle in 1898, marking a period of industrial influence in Highland estates.
