Castle Roy, Nethy Bridge
description: Castle Roy is reported to be the oldest masonry fortification in Scotland, dating from 1200 (MacGibbon and Ross 1872-1914) and is a very rare example of an unaltered building of its type. It will remain the most accessible fortress when it opens to the public. The site is currently undergoing a consolidation that has lasted for over 25 years. However the end is in sight and the Castle Roy Trust is keen to open its doors, show the work being carried out and explain it's history. The castle is a building site so people looking around will need to be escorted but all are welcome including children. Please dress appropriately. www.castleroy.org.uk Tel 01479 821370 castle.roy@nethybridge.com
