Touchadam (possible) (site of)

Touchadam was a property owned by the Murray family for centuries, and is likely to have been the site of a castle.

William de Moravia was granted a charter of Touchadam in October 1392.

I have placed the site of the castle at Touchadam Craig pending further research.
