Scotland History | Glencrave Castle

In the 19th century, Glencarva Castle underwent significant restoration work, undertaken by the then-owner, Sir William Fraser. This diligent work helped preserve the castle's structure and authenticity.

Following the forfeiture of the MacDonald estates in the early 18th century, the lands of Glencrave passed through various hands, eventually falling under the control of the Campbell family, the traditional rivals of the MacDonalds. The Campbells, already ensconced in their own seats of power, had no need for a remote, partially dismantled tower house. glencrave castle scotland history
