Craigneach Castle was a tower house, about 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Carron, Strathspey, Moray, Scotland, and 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Charlestown of Aberlour, north of the River Spey.
History
The property may be the “Place of Elchies” plundered in 1645 by the Covenanters, although little about it is certain.
Structure
Craigneath Castle was an L-plan castle, on a spur, in a commanding position. The building was of about 4.5 metres (15 ft) internal width. There was a dry-stone enclosure wall.
There are now no remains.
