Description

Balconie Castle ist eine abgegangene Burg in der Gemeinde Kiltearn, etwa 800 Meter östlich des Dorfes Evanton in der schottischen Verwaltungseinheit Highland.

Die Burg war früher der Sitz der Familie Mormaer, den Earls of Ross und Chefs des Clan Ross. Später gehörte es deren Nachfolgern, dem Clan MacDonald. Alexander MacDonald aus Lochalsh, Chef des Clan Macdonald of Lochalsh und Verwandter der Earls of Ross und Lord of the Isles, ließ ein Fest auf Balconie Castle abhalten. Er lud alle Angehörigen seinen eigenen Clans und viele Chefs anderer Clans in den Highlands ein. Kenneth Mackenzie, Chef des Clan Mackenzie kam zu dem Fest mit 40 Mann, aber nach einiger Verwirrung zogen er und seine Männer sich klugerweise zurück.
