The rivers Spey and Avon acted as a natural moat. During the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, the castle was plundered and burned by James Graham, the 1st Marquess of Montrose, following the Battle of Inverlochy. It was restored shortly thereafter. As the need for defense waned, General James Grant of the American Wars of Independence added two massive new wings to adapt the fortress for comfortable family living. The formal grounds were laid out in the late 19th century. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
