Built in 1866 in the Scottish baronial style, Duncraig Castle was home to the Matheson family until the 1920s. After several changeable decades, including being used as a Naval hospital during WWII, the castle was bought by the Dobson family of England in 2002, of whom 17 moved in. A 5-part series on their life was aired by the BBC, but the Dobsons sold the castle in 2009. Since then it has been run as a hotel and B&B but at the time of writing (spring 2023) is under private ownership and closed to the public.

A very beautiful complex, built at the end of the 19th century. Easily accessible from Plockton via a romantic hiking trail.
