    Built in the late 15th or early 16th century by Raasay's first Macleod chief, Calum, the castle is built on a volcanic plug. It provided a strategic stronghold to control (and plunder) shipping on the Sound. Today much of the masonry has eroded, however the full structure would have had four, high, towers and would have presented an impregnable wall towards the sea.
