Built in 1892 for Lieutenant Colonel George Glas Sandeman, and now a Category B listed building. In 1946, the building became the property of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board, who changed the property's name from Fonab Castle to Port-na-Craig House. The castle was altered internally in 1954.
