The mansion faces Calgary Bay on the west coast of the island, around 13 kilometres (8 miles) from Tobermory.

[1] The house was built by Captain Alan MacAskill (1765–1828), who bought the land in 1817 and completed the house by 1823.

[2] Around 1870 the house was acquired by John Munro Mackenzie,[1] and was subsequently extended to the east, away from the coast.

Calgary Castle was later owned by Colonel Eric and Elizabeth Mackenzie from 1948 until the 1970s, and they planted over 150 species of rhododendron, azaleas and exotic plants, and created the woodland garden which still stands.
