Tor Castle
Tor Castle is a ruined medieval tower house on a rocky ridge near Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, close to the River Lochy. The site preserves the standing walls of a small 16th-century tower house and fragments of a surrounding barmkin built on earlier Iron Age platforms; it was abandoned after the Jacobite period in the mid-18th century.

As it stood in 1530
The shape it held in its prime.
Compact rectangular stone tower house rising several storeys from a broad masonry base, built of mortared random rubble with thick walls and small vertical window openings; in its prime the tower would have had an intact roof and upper floors. On the north side are low fragments of a barmkin wall forming a small courtyard, and the whole stands on a narrow rocky ridge separated from the rest of the ridge by a deep water-filled ditch; rounded Highland hills form the backdrop.
