This survey of Lochaneilean Castle was conducted in April 1935 on behalf of the Inverness Field Club, by which the expenses were defrayed. I gratefully acknowledge the warm interest shown in the undertaking by the Council of the Club, and the assistance which I received, in making the survey, from Dr. John Craig, F.S.A.Scot., and Mrs. Craig. The laird of Rothiemurchus, Lieut.-Col. John P. Grant, M.C., T.D., D.L., M.A., LL.B., Sheriff-substitute of Inverness, Elgin, and Nairn, kindly placed a boat and boatman and ladders at our disposal, and had the overgrowth removed from the ruins before our visit.
page 61 note 1 All the interest that he had in Rothiemurchus was a lease of six davochs of church-land which he obtained from the bishop of Moray in 1383 (Registrum Episcopates Moraviensis, 189–91). Rothiemurchus had been granted by Alexander II to the bishops in 1226—ibid. 21–2.
