  • Archaeological Society and Avoch Community Archaeology Group Th St Mar 20 to 21 2016
    Avoch Community Archaeology Report of a Survey of Ormond Castle, Avoch, Ross- shire carried out by members of the North of Scotland Archaeological Society and Avoch Community Archaeology group th st Mar 20 to 21 2016 With the kind permission of Broadlands Estates Rosehaugh Background The North of Scotland Archaeological Society (NOSAS) and Avoch Community Archaeology (ACA) group joined forces in March 2016 to survey and photograph Ormond Castle, GR NH 6963 5358 (HER ID: MHG8226, Canmore ID 13572). The castle overlooks the village of Avoch on the Black Isle and commands good views across the Moray Firth to the south and the former ferry crossing between Chanonry and Ardersier in the east. To date Ormond castle has not received the attention it deserves. It is traditionally associated with William the Lion (1143 – 1214). He built two castles on the Black Isle in 1179, one at Redcastle and a second which is thought to be this one. Andrew de Moray was owner of the castle in the 13th century and principal commander of Scottish forces in the north during the Wars of Independence in the late 13th Century, but was mortally wounded fighting alongside William Wallace at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. In 1455, after being in the hands of the de Moray family and the earls of Ross, the castle passed to royal control and in 1481 James III granted it to his son, the Marquis of Ormond, from whom the present name derives. The castle was destroyed by Cromwell’s forces in 1650 and the stones were transported over the firth to build the Citadel in Inverness.

  • Avoch Community Archaeology Ormond Castle Community
    Avoch Community Archaeology Ormond Castle Community Archaeology Project Design Summary This project design sets out the aims and methodology for an archaeological survey and evaluation around Ormond Castle, Avoch. The archaeological survey and evaluation will be part of a larger community archaeological project, aimed at involving local members of the public, schools and special interest groups in the investigation, interpretation and management of their local heritage. The project is managed by Avoch Community Archaeology (ACA), a local group of individuals affiliated to Avoch and Killen Community Council. ACA not only aims to engage local people in gaining a better understanding of their local archaeology while conforming to high standard of archaeological research, but also seeks to enhance and promote the local area. Ormond Castle is a well-known site on the southern fringes of modern Avoch. It overlooks the village and is close to popular dog walking paths. The little that is known of the site is mainly through documentary sources. Apparently constructed around 1179 and demolished in 1650, the castle is also famed for the role it played in the Scottish Wars of Independence. Excavations apparently carried out in 1883 remain unpublished and very little is actually known about this local landmark. Avoch Community Archaeology: Ormond Castle Project Design 2016 Location Avoch is a harbour-village located on the south east coast of the Black Isle, on the Moray Firth. Ormond Castle is located a little to the south west of the village overlooking Avoch bay on a prominent mound which is itself overlooked by Wood Hill a little further to the south west.
