Castle-Stuart, a seat of the Earl of Moray in Petty parish, Inverness-shire, 6 miles NE of Inverness, 1½ mile WSW of Dalcross station, and within ½ mile of the Moray Firth. A fine specimen of the baronial architecture, it seems to have been erected about 1625, and was once designed for the family seat; but, having fallen into disrepair, it has long been kept in order only as a shooting-box. The Earl owns 7035 acres in the shire, valued at £5171 per annum.
