By written evidence for over seven hundred years the home of the Chiefs of Clan Munro and by tradition for three hundred more, Foulis Castle once a fortified tower, was burned in suspicious circumstances at the time of the '45 Risings shortly after the battle of Culloden in 1746. Like many of the Northern Clans, The Munros had been staunch supporters of the Government against both The Old and The Young Pretender, Bonnie Prince Charlie and both the Chief and his two brothers were killed in the Government cause.

The present Castle set in beautiful grounds amongst mature trees, and built on the remains of the old defensive keep, dates mainly from the mid 18th century when Sir Harry Munro of Foulis returned to find his home partially destroyed. Educated in the Low Countries like many of his contemporaries, Sir Harry introduced a continental element to his new house, this is especially apparent in the Castle courtyard. His son, Sir Hugh completed the work after his father's death in 1781.

Since then the Castle has over the generations been altered internally to suit changing lifestyles but externally remains as it was built. It is still a comfortable family home with fine well furnished reception rooms, fascinating Clan memorabilia and ancestral portraits, a display of old Clan tartans, an early Victorian kitchen with its original fittings and superb views of the Cromarty Firth across waving cornfields.

Self catering accommodation is available within the Castle courtyard walls and tours conducted by either the current 33rd Clan Chief, Hector Munro of Foulis, his mother Mrs Munro of Foulis or another member of the family can usually be arranged by appointment on giving at least 48 hours notice.
