Description
Castle Leod 0923 by TL Wilson Photography
Situated near to the delightful Victorian spa village of Strathpeffer in Easter Ross, Scotland, Castle Leod is surely one of the most beautiful, romantic and unspoilt castles in the Highlands.
The castle has been lived in by the same family for well over 500 years and is the Seat of Clan Mackenzie, their Chief (Cabarfeidh), Earl of Cromartie, and his family.
The castle and family have been at the epicentre of Highland and Scottish politics, heavily involved in the Jacobite Rising of 1745 as well as other adventures that have resulted in scenarios ranging from sentences of death for High Treason, to awarding of an Earldom, from clan battles to confidante of Royalty, from near poverty to the heights of power. Nowadays the claymores are sheathed and the guns are silent.
