Ardvreck Castle
Ardvreck Castle is a ruined castle dating from the 16th century. It is thought to have been constructed around 1590 by the Clan MacLeod. Clan MacKenzie attacked and captured Ardvreck Castle in 1672. A fire destroyed the house in 1737.
The castle is haunted by the apparition of a sobbing woman in white. The young woman was said to have committed suicide when she realised that her father had made a pact with the Devil - if he had a new castle, he would let the Devil wed his daughter. She threw herself from the castle and now walks the castle ruins.
