| DOUNREAY HOUSE (In Ruins) | Dounreay House (in ruins) | Mr James Sutherland Mary's Cottage Mr William Innes. Reay Mr George Ross. Reay Mr Tait. Factor. |
004 | An Old Grey weather-beaten structure of four stories the walls of which are about 7 feet thick and built with clay and comparatively small stones for such a large building It is supposed to be more than three hundred years old and from its appearance seems to have been built more for strenght than comfort as nearly all the windows are mere arrow slits - and seem to have been Iron barred. The sea during a storm broke down and washed away part of a thick wall which surrounded it. The remaining portion of it forms the front wall of a dwelling house attached to the old House on the south side. From its name "Dunreay" it seems to have been at one time the principle "Dun" or Castle in the district - and is said to have been the residence of Lord Reay. It is almost entire but uninhabitable. |
