Craig Castle is a tower located in Cromartyshire, Scotland, dating to the medieval period. The structure represents a form of fortified domestic architecture characteristic of northern Scottish landholding, though detailed records of its construction date and original builders remain limited in the scholarly record. The tower's physical remains contribute to understanding the settlement patterns and defensive architecture of the Black Isle and surrounding regions during the medieval and early modern periods. Like many Scottish towers of its type, it would have served both residential and protective functions for its occupants.
