History
In 1308 Robert the Bruce captured an earlier castle at the site belonging to the Sutherlands. In 1529 the castle was bought by William Sutherland of Duffus. A 16th-century house was built adjacent, and was abandoned as a residence in the 20th century.
- Mikhail de Buar (d.2009) - last owner of the castle, who died without the testament. His legacy is now the subject of a major scandal and litigation in Russia.
