Isle of Moy (1)
After leaving Castle Leod, I had hoped to fly the drone to the remnants of Dochmaluag House, a couple of miles further down Stath Peffer, but the rain started and drones are allergic to rain!  I waited for a while and then gave up and continued heading south.  After Inverness however, the rain temporarily cleared, so I have come to Loch Moy.

Now whether there is a castle on the Isle of Loch Moy, is a bit of a moot point.  I have included this 1870 Ordnance Survey map, to show that in their opinion, there is/was.  Wikipedia states that &quot;There is an island on the loch called the Isle of Moy and on this island are the ruins of Moy Castle that was seat of the Chiefs of Clan Mackintosh from the 14th century to about 1700.&quot;  However, Canmore states that the principal building on the island was &quot;a laird's house, not a castle&quot; and that the &quot;building has no castellated features, no defences, and was obviously domestic in style.&quot;  

It seems likely that it was a 'hall-house' - to all intents and purposes a castle with no defensive features, built as such because out here on its island, it didn’t need defences - except when the loch froze over!
