It is not known when the castle was built all that is known respecting it is that it belonged to the Lords of the Isles and that it subsequently came into the possession of the Earls of Ross, in what period is not ascertained. A bishop's ring and some other articles were discovered at it about 60 years ago when excavations were being made from which some infer that it was the seat of a bishop. |
