FOULIS CASTLE has been the home of the Chiefs of Clan Munro for over 700 years. It is steeped in the history of the family and of the Clan. It was pillaged and burnt by the Jacobites in 1746 and rebuilt, as it is now in a Georgian style, incorporating what was left of the castle. It is a private residence and only open to the public by appointment.

 

Foulis Castle is well located being within easy reach of the Culloden Battlefield and many other interesting places yet it is also easy to do a day trip to Skye or to visit the famous National Trust Gardens at Inverewe on the West Coast and many other properties and to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

 

There are half-a-dozen golf courses in the area ranging from the championship course at Dornoch (one hour's drive north) to several nearby courses each with its individual charm designed to test golfers of all standards.

 

Inverness Airport is situated an easy 3/4 hour drive away while the Highland Capital itself is 18 minutes drive over a spectacular road. All forms of services and supplies can be obtained from Dingwall (4 miles) or from Inverness and there is an excellent foodstore in the village of Evanton (2 ½ miles). "Eating out" is well catered for in the Highland area and there is a good choice of restaurants and hotels.
