Informations supplémentaires

The castle was built in about 1590, by the MacLeods of Assynt. It replaced Assynt Castle which was four miles north-west of Inchnadamph. Ardvreck is famous as the place where the royalist James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose was handed over in 1650 to the Covenanter forces by MacLeod, Laird of Assynt after the Battle of Carbisdale. The true history of this event is unclear. One account is that MacLeod, loyal to the Covenanters, arrested the weary, fleeing, Montrose and held him. Another is that he provided comfortable shelter, but betrayed Montrose for a £25, 000 reward.
