The old Castle was the residence of
the Macleods of Lewis who possessed the
whole Island for three hundred years
the last of that name was Rory McLeod
or old Rory as he was usually named
died during the minority of James the
Sixth of Scotland when the whole Island
was ceded by the then Government to Three
members of the Privy Council viz
Lord Balmarine These others who took
posession and established large Colonies
for the purpose of fishing and Civilising.
The Inhabitants who were at that period
a very Barbarous & piratical race and
the traditional history of that period
as handed down to us assents that the
natural sons of Old Rory attempted
to settle in the Castle from which they
were expelled by the Fife Settlers and
the Castle demolished that they might

of McLeods natural sons assisted by the Natives
in which many were slain the Island was
sold to the Suitor of Kintail for a Sum of about
fifty Ponds of our Sterling money and it has
untill the last three years remained in the poss
sion of the Mackenzies or family of Seaforth but
the Castle was not rebuilt
Dear Sir,
You have the only accounts
of the Castle and its demolition that
I could glean from the Old natives as
handed down from Genration to Generation
and which accords with a statement I per
ceived many years past in an Old Scots
chronicle published in the early part of the
17th Century
