Castle Stuart is a restored tower house on the banks of the Moray Firth about 6.5 miles northeast of Inverness.The land the castle was built on was granted to James Stewart 1st Earl of Moray by his half-sister Mary Queen of Scots following her return to Scotland in 1561. The successive murders of Stewart and his son-in-law James Stewart 2nd Earl of Moray meant that the castle was finally completed by his grandson James Stuart 3rd Earl of Moray in 1625.
