Castlecraig is a ruined tower house. The north-east wing still stands and remains roofed, although another wing to the north-west has collapsed. The tower may have been used as a residence by the post-Reformation Bishops of Ross.{{Historic Environment Scotland|cat=PLA|num=13702|num2=NH66SW 2|desc=Castlecraig|fewer-links=yes|access-date=25 June 2025}} Donald Monro, Dean of the Isles, may have lived at Castlecraig in the 1560s.{{cite book |last=Munro |first=R.
