Olaf and Hester Macleod

The contribution of Olaf and Hester Macleod to the cultural life of Ross and Cromarty was brought to mind when, in August 2019, Ross and Cromarty Heritage Society received an email from Alberto Rubio Diaz, owner of a house which he now runs as an hotel in Minas de Riotinto, Andalucia, Spain.

Caisteal Gorach, the Foolish Castle,
Visitors to Dingwall often ask about what seems to be the ruins of a castle on Tulloch Hill, beside Ben Wyvis. Caisteal Gorach, the Foolish Castle, was never lived in - it is a folly built to look like a ruin. Henry Davidson, an 18th century laird of Tulloch, provided work for labourers by building the roofless doorless castle. It is said he did not want any large houses on his estate other than Tulloch Castle - and Caisteal Gorach is not exactly a prime residential site. It is 1000ft above sea level and no road has ever led there. Generations of Dingwall folk have made the arduous climb to picnic at the castle and enjoy the view over six countries.
