Background

History

Amhuinnsuidhe Castle was built in 1865 for Charles Murray, 7th Earl of Dunmore. The castle, as the North Harris Estate, remained in private ownership until 2003. The 55000 acre estate was transferred to community ownership in 2003, when the North Harris Trust purchased the land in a community land purchase. The castle and fishing rights were purchased by Ian Scarr-Hall. They are now operated as Amhuinnsuidhe Castle Estate, a sporting hotel and conference venue.
