Moniack Castle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moniack Castle is a 16th century castle located 7 miles west of Inverness, and just south of Beauly in Highland, Scotland. The castle was built in 1580 by members of the Clan Fraser. Today the castle grounds comprise a winery, which is still owned and operated by Frasers.

Moniack Castle is the only castle that still belongs to a branch of the Lovat Frasers. This branch is known as the Moniack Frasers and is the largest off-shoot of the clan. It consists of over 150 descendants from the Hon. Alistair Fraser and Lady Sybil (nee Grimstone). Alistair was given the castle by his elder brother, Lord Lovat, in 1926.

The chief of the Moniack Frasers (Rory Fraser) is known as "Moniack" and and his eldest son is "master of Moniack" (Charles Fraser).

Currently Rory Fraser and his wife Mary Fraser (Nee Strutt) live in Moniack Castle. They Have four children, Charles, Harry, Caroline and Georgina.
