Castle Moray is the ancestral home of Clan Moray, including Findlaech and Macbeth.
History
In 1020, Gillecomgain the Hunter fought and murdered Findlaech on the castle grounds. He then nearly killed Macbeth before getting distracted by the gargoyle he called the Demon. The Demon would later slay Gillecomgain at Castle Moray twelve years later, with help from Macbeth. ("City of Stone" Part One, "City of Stone" Part Two)
From 1040 to 1057, Demona's Clan would often rest at Castle Moray, though never the whole clan at the same time. [1]
It was sacked and presumably destroyed by Canmore and his English followers in 1057. ("City of Stone" Part Four)
Characteristics
Castle Moray was a large fortress. Its defensives were great with a moat dug around the structure, and great castle walls surrounding a courtyard and a keep.
Within the keep was a massive Dining Hall which Findlaech, Gillecomgain, and Macbeth would often use to dine and entertain guests. Castle Moray also had a chapel that was the site of both Gillecomgain's wedding to Gruoch and Macbeth's wedding to Gruoch.
