The Sutherland family successfully inhabited this castle and estates, from the time of Nicholas to that of Alexander Sutherland in the year 1499, who was known by the name of the red Rover. Some dispute having arisen between himself and one John Dunbar caused them to fight, and Dunbar fell by the hand of Sutherland. His brother James Dunbar, went to Edinburgh and complained of it to the King (James IV) who was highly offended and pronounced him a rebel. The King offered his estates as a reward to any one who would bring him before him, but Sutherland boldly defended himself, in this Castle of Dirlot, (which is said to have been surrounded by the River at that time and accessible only by a drawbridge) until his Uncle Y. Roy Mackay treacherously deceived him, by comming as a friendly visitor, with 24 of his men, each having a dirk concelled in his coat sleeve. They caught their victim when he was off his guard and brought him to Inverness where he was executed in 1499 and the lands were given to Mackay. Present proprietor, Sir J.G.T. Sinclair of Ulbster.
