Wonderful place to stay. My daughter and I stayed for a few days in the 3 bedroom apartment at the end of May. No one else was even there. This is a fantastic hidden gem. We will definitely stay again next tome in germany. My only regret was we were unable to stay longer. We ABSOLUTELY loved it!!!!

We just walked around the grounds and took few photos. We didn't go inside. Nice old castle. The brochure says you can rent the place for functions.

Just a courtyard, impressive building, would be cool to actually see more than just the courtyard though.

This place is seriously magnificent, I went there on a trip and was blown away by the historical background and nighttime lighting

Inverness Castle

Inverness Castle sits on a cliff overlooking the River Ness. The red sandstone structure evident today was built in 1836 by architect William Burn. It is built on the site of an 11th-century (c. 1057) defensive structure. Today, it houses Inverness Sheriff Court.

The castle is said to have been built by Máel Coluim III of Scotland, after he had razed to the ground the castle in which Macbeth of Scotland according to much later tradition, murdered Máel Coluim"s father Donnchad I of Scotland, and which stood on a hill around 1 km to the north-east.

The first Inverness Castle was partially destroyed by King Robert I of Scotland and a replacement castle was sacked in the 15th century by the Clan Donald during the Siege of Inverness (1429). The castle was occupied during the Raid on Ross in 1491.

In 1548 another castle with tower was completed by George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly (1514–1562). He was constable of the castle until 1562.
