Valuation Roll for 1869-70 |
042 |
An ancient Castle now in ruin lying on N.E. [North East] of Loch Eye. "The Castle Lochslin in the north east corner of the parish, is another remarkable building, it is said to be of 500 years standing. It stands upon an eminence about 1 mile N E [North East] of the Loch of Eye, and about 6 miles E [East] of Tain and is one of the most conspicuous objects in the country. It was certainly built as a place of security sudden incursion in the days of violence, its shape resembles two figures, nearly square, pieced together by the corner, in which junction there is a staircase to the top. The lesser one, which looks towards the W, [West] being about 20 & the greater which looks towards the E. [East] about 38 feet square. The Castle is 60 feet high. It is fortified with three large turrets, one of which stands upon the lesser square. [continued on page 5] |

[continued from page 4] square, and two upon the greater, Each turret is capable of holding three or more men with ease, and has five small round holes, of about 4 inches diameter, with three larger above them, of a quadrangular form. The latter it is imagined were intended for the sentries or Watchmen to see through, and the others for the shooting of arrows. The outer door of the Kitchen was made of strong bars of Iron, as thick as an ordinary man's leg, and the windows were closed with small grates or twisted stanchions of iron, so that it may be readily supposed that it was always impregnable at the period in which it was erected" * * "Extract from Fullartons Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland" The property of A.E.
