Report of a Project to Survey the Site of Kinbeachie Castle, Cullicudden on the Black Isle
Report of a project to survey the site of Kinbeachie Castle, Cullicudden on the Black Isle st by members of NOSAS - 1 March 2017 Introduction The small estate of Kinbeachie, amounting to “a half davoch”, is located in the northwest part of the Black Isle overlooking the Cromarty Firth. Today the area is productive arable land but in the 16th century there are references to “the King (James VI) hunting in the woodland along the Kinbeakie Burn”. The archaeological site known as Kinbeachie Castle comprises a collection of grassy humps and bumps covering an area of approximately 70m x 60m in the corner of a field. The 1st edition OS map of 1876 (right) has a cluster of roofed buildings which is annotated “Kinbeachie Castle” and the date 1546; the OS name book of the same year reports that “the name applies to the ruins of an old castle, formerly the seat of the proprietor of Kinbeachie. The southern gable is the only portion of the building which stands in its entirety, the rest having only a foot or so above ground…….a stone with the date 1546 still remains in the standing gable just over the place where the fireplace has been”. There are two entries on the archaeological databases for the site: • Canmore ID 13705 (HER ID MHG8193) – Castle (Medieval) at GR NH 6343 6218 • Canmore ID 13700 (HER ID MHG8198) – Farmstead at GR NH 6339 6218 The gable noted in 1876 was still standing in 1959 when the RCAHMS photographed the building (see photo below) but it was demolished soon afterwards for safety reasons. -

Excavation and Watching Brief Report
Highland Archaeology Services Ltd Bringing the Past and Future Together Kirkmichael, Balblair, Black Isle Excavation and Watching Brief Report Kirkmichael Excavation Report October 2017 Kirkmichael, Balblair, Black Isle Excavation and Watching Brief Report Report No. KML16-1 Site Code KML16 Client Kirkmichael Trust Planning Ref n/a OS Grid Ref NH 70590 65855 Date/ 06/10/2017 revision Author Lynne McKeggie Summary Excavations and a watching brief were conducted by Highland Archaeology Services ltd as part of the redevelopment of Kirkmichael Kirk, Resolis in order to satisfy Scheduled Monument consent. A watching brief was conducted throughout ground-breaking works from August 2016 to August 2017 to enable installation of drains, paths, services and signage. An excavation to lower the floor levels of the Kirk was undertaken in October and November 2016. Excavations within the Kirk revealed an earlier phase of wall and some material that may be related to a building or renovation phase. There was also a considerable depth of modern material, including wooden box-like structures and excess soil from grave digging. Many modern artefacts were recovered including bottles and vases. A scatter of 17th and 18th century coins are thought to have been imported with grave digging material, along with many disarticulated and fragmentary human remains. The human remains have undergone basic analysis and have been reinterred within the graveyard. Twenty monumental grave ledger slabs were recorded during the watching brief of works for the installation of new paths and drains. All the slabs were able to be preserved in-situ. No other artefacts of interest were recovered during the watching brief. -
