Bannachra Castle was built by the Colquhouns sometime after they acquired the associated lands in 1512, presumably on the site of the principal building of the previous owners, the Galbraiths. In 1592 it was attacked and taken by the MacGregors who killed Sir Humphrey Colquhoun with an arrow fired through a stair window. N.B Bannachra Castle is situated within the private garden of the owner of Bannachra Estate. The owner granted me permission to visit the castle and he accompanied me as I photographed the castle from various angles.
