Duncraig Castle

Duncraig Castle is a three-storey Scottish baronial mansion on the south shore of Loch Carron in the Highlands of Scotland, built in 1866 to designs by Alexander Ross for Alexander Matheson. The asymmetrical nine-bay building includes a chapel, a large dining room and an octagonal water tower, and sits within a wooded 40-acre estate with a boathouse and two private islands. A small private railway station on the Kyle of Lochalsh line serves the property.

As it stood in 1897

The shape it held in its prime.

A three-storey, asymmetrical nine-bay Scottish baronial mansion with stepped gables and crenellated roofline, arranged around an irregular plan; an octagonal water tower projects above the massing. The stone-built block sits close to the shoreline of Loch Carron amid estate woodland, with a separate boathouse and small private islands offshore. The composition is interrupted by later additions (a 20th-century wing), but the original baronial silhouettes of gables, crenellations and tower dominate the outline.
