Summary[edit]
DescriptionCastle-cluggy-loch-monzievaird-8 12131980276.jpg |
English: Remains of tower house, Castle Cluggy, which sits beside Loch Monzievaird. Definitely there in the 15th century, but may date from the 12th century. Castle Cluggy, lies on the north side of the Loch Monzievaird, on the Dry Isle. As a “rickle of stones” it may have been built as early as the 12th Century sometime after the Battle of Monzievaird in 1005. This battle was fought between Malcolm II and the usurper to the throne Kenneth IV (the Grim) who was slain there. The castle is situated on a little peninsula (which once was an island) called the “Dry Isle.”
Originally thought to have been one of the possessions of Bruce’s great rival, the “Red Comyn”, it was classified in 1467 under a charter of confirmation as being “Antiquum Fortalicium”, a very old place. It was an early centre of dispute between the two families. It had been the home of Earl Malise, Earl of Strathearn, and the first recorded Murray to occupy it was Patrick Moray, third son of Sir David Moray of Gask and Tullibardine. The name changed to Murray through William, the third baronet. Castle Cluggy, at that time was in the possession of the Drummonds. It was a square-shaped structure, seventeen by twenty feet within its walls with at least two or more floors. Eventually was in the possession of the Murrays and was still complete with its fosse and drawbridge when Cromwell’s troopers came to visit it two hundred years later. |
