Auchneight Castle (site of)

Auchneight Castle was a property of the McCulloch family in the 17th century and possibly earlier, but nothing of it now remains.

It is said to have been used as a hunting lodge by the McCullochs of Clanyard.

In 1619 Alexander McCulloch of Torhouse owned the lands of Torhouse-McCulloch, Eschandarroch, Torhouse-McKie, Cairngorran, Auchneacht and Craichdow.

Ruins of the castle could apparently still be seen in the late 19th century but its exact location has now been lost.
