Borve Castle, Sutherland
Borve Castle in Sutherland, Scottish Highlands is now a ruin. Formerly called the House of Burro. It was built in Kirtomy Bay near the hamlet of Farr. It is also known as Farr Castle.〔Coventry, Martin. (2008). ''Castles of the Clans: The Strongholds and Seats of 750 Scottish Families and Clans''. pp. 376 - 377. ISBN 978-1-899874-36-1.〕
==History==
The castle, which may have originally been constructed by a Norseman by the name of Torquil,〔Coventry (2008) p. 376.〕 was a stronghold of Clan Mackay that they used as a base to carry out raids on their neighbours the Clan Sutherland.〔 The Mackays failed to appear in front of Mary of Guise, the mother of Mary, Queen of Scots, and as a result the John Gordon, 11th Earl of Sutherland, chief of Clan Sutherland was ordered to destroy the castle.〔 Guise hired a private ship, the ''Lion'' in August 1554 to attack the Castle. Sir Hew Kennedy of Girvanmains, the Earl's stepfather (or Stepbrother), embarked 50 men of war and the royal gunner Hans Cochrane with a cannon.〔''Accounts of the Lord High Treasurer of Scotland'', vol. 10 (1913), 233-4.〕 It is also said that a cannon was dragged all the way from Edinburgh.〔 Rory Mor Mackay, Captain of the castle was apparently dismayed to see that the enemy was armed with a cannon as the castle had withstood all previous sieges. The castle was destroyed and Rory Mor Mackay was hanged.〔 In November Kennedy returned to Edinburgh with Iye Du Mackay, 12th of Strathnaver who was imprisoned in Dumbarton and then Edinburgh Castle.〔''Accounts of the Lord High Treasurer of Scotland'', vol. 10, (1913), l-lv, 294, 295, 314.〕
After Borve Castle was destroyed a force from the Clan Mackay assembled under John Mor Mackay and engaged in battle with the Clan Sutherland, known as the Battle of Garbharry where the Mackays were defeated. This was the last battle between the clans Sutherland and Mackay.〔'Conflicts of the Clans' published in 1764 by the Foulis Press from a manuscript wrote in the reign of King James VI.〕
