CASTLE LEOD

A turreted 15th century tower house of rose-pink sandstone set amidst some of the finest trees in Scotland and one mile from the spa town of Strathpeffer. Contains a collection of family portraits by local Scottish artists mostly retouched at a later date and some copies after more famous artists by artists such as Romney. The furniture is relatively sparse, being either Jacobean or 19th century French; earlier material having been sold by the Hanoverian government after 1745 Jacobite Rising, which the Cromartie family were staunch supporters of.
