Baron of Castlehill

Baron of Castlehill is a title of nobility in the Baronage of Scotland in Inverness.

Also called Auld Castlehill, it lies on the outskirts of the burgh of Inverness, between Culcabock, Drakies, and Culloden and it may be the hill where Macbeth's castle once stood.

[1] The lands were thought to have been granted to the Cuthbert family by King Kenneth I in the 950s, however the first known charter erecting Castlehill into a barony is from King James III on 23 July 1478.

When Lewis Cuthbert died in that year, the lands were sold and the title of baron became "dormant".

[3] Much of the land was eventually acquired by the Frasiers of Lovat and research performed by Dr. Richard Culbert of Muirton and Brian Hamilton has determined that the current holder of the title is Simon Fraser, 16th Lord Lovat.
