Fairburn Tower

Highland – Inverness, Black Isle, Easter Ross, Ross & Cromarty

Please note this venue is open outside of the Inverness, Black Isle, and Ross and Cromarty weekend.

Open to the public on one weekend a year, Fairburn Tower is a rare survival from the Scottish Renaissance. Situated in beautiful Highland landscape, half an hour’s drive north-west of Inverness, Fairburn Tower was built around 1545 for Murdo Mackenzie, a favourite at the rich court of King James V and Mary of Guise. 

Information about its history and restoration will be available on site.

Tickets are timed entry and must be booked in advance via the Landmark Trust website.

Additional Access Information

Fairburn Tower has steep stairs and is not suitable for those with limited mobility.

Fairburn Tower is a small building with a tight spiral staircase so in order to keep visitors safe we will be limiting the number of people allowed in at one time; this could mean that if you arrive at a particularly busy time you may be asked to wait to gain entry.
