Amhuinnsuidhe Castle, Harris It is quite a surprise when you round the corner on the B887 to come across this large building. It was originally named Fincastle and the house was built in the Scottish baronial style by architect David Bryce in 1864–1867 for Charles Murray, 7th Earl of Dunmore (styled Viscount Fincastle until 1845), whose grandfather George Murray, 5th Earl of Dunmore had purchased the island in 1834. The B887 passes right in front of the house before passing through an archway.
