Contullich Castle
Contullich Castle was a castle located a few miles north-west of the town of Alness, on the eastern side of the county of Ross-shire, Scotland.
The castle is believed to date back until at least the 11th century. In 1379 Euphemia I, Countess of Ross confirmed the lands of Contullich and the fort to her cousin Hugh Munro, 9th Baron of Foulis.
During the early 16th century Andrew Munro, 3rd of Milntown was granted many chaters for lands including Contullich and Kildermorie in the parish of Alness. He was known as Black Andrew of the Seven Castles because he had a castle on each of his estates including "Contullich Castle" and Milntown Castle.
During the later half of the 16th century the lands of Contullich passed to "Hector Munro, 1st of Contullich and Fyrish" who was a younger son of Robert Munro, 14th Baron of Foulis and a younger brother of Robert Mor Munro, 15th Baron of Foulis.
During the 17th century the castle was seat to General Robert Monro of the Munros of Obsdale, who fought in the Thirty Years' War, Bishop's Wars and the Irish Confederate Wars. In 1620 Robert Monro built "a good house" at Contullich. The small castle was replaced with a farmhouse at the end of the 18th century.
