Toux (site of)

Toux was a castle that was the seat of the barony of Toux, however nothing of it now remains.

Walter Innes of Tulchis or Toux was deputy chamberlain to the Earl of Ross in the first half of the 16th century.

The probable site of the castle is now occupied by a farm of the same name.
