According to Highland Council's Am Baile website "the present mansion was built for Arthur Forbes between 1772 and 1788. The house incorporates much of an earlier fortified house within its structure. It also shows the influence of John Adam, an eminent architect of the late 19th century, who was involved in the design and construction of nearby Fort George at the time. The stone and masonry work of the two are similar, and the handsomely moulded fireplaces and ceilings of Culloden House are in the Adam style. Culloden House remained in the hands of the Forbes family until 1897. It was privately owned until 1975 when it was converted into a country house hotel".
