Kilravock Castle

Kilravock Castle (pronounced Kilrawk[1]) is located near the village of Croy, between Inverness and Nairn, in the council area of Highland, Scotland.

[3] The original name for the castle was Cill Rathaig; Scottish Gaelic meaning "church at the small circular fort".

[8] A blacksmith in Elgin called George Robertson made a new iron yett for the great tower at Kilravock in February 1568.

They settled at Kilravock in 1293, since which date son has succeeded father without the interposition of a collateral heir, an instance of direct descent unique in Scottish history.

[8][11] Moreover, many Roses have borne the Christian name of Hugh, and only one attained to a higher social rank than that of laird.
