    A Norman-style square castle located right next to the road. Interesting information boards. There's little excuse not to take a break and absorb a little history. Nice gravel paths ascend each side of the castle; don't be put off by the highly visible mud path in front.

      Ruin of a castle near the road.
      Castle Roy is an 12th century fortress built by the Clan Comyn on a small glacial mound to the north of the modern village of Nethy Bridge. In 1420 the whole area came under the stewardship of the Clan Grant who are still the clan of this area today.
