Varrich Castle, Scotland

Varrich Castle is the ancestral home of Clan Mckay, a clan the boasts such illustrious descendants as Richie McCaw and Gretel Roberts. Descended from celts and norse the clan was known for its warrior like attributes, attributes that have undoubtedly been passed down through the generations.

Looking out over Kyle of Tongue estuary on the north western corner of Scotland, the clan expanded to control much of northern Scotland before the clearances reduced their power.

Even today many of the businesses located near the northern coast of Scotland carry the McKay name.
