Tarradale Castle was a castle that was located near Muir of Ord, Scotland, most likely northwest of Tarradale House.[1] King Robert the Bruce captured and destroyed the castle in 1308.[2]

Tarradale House was built on the site in 1680. The geologist Sir Roderick Murchison was born there in 1792.[3]
