The former seat of the MacDonalds of Clan Ranald, Castle Tioram was seized by Government forces around 1692 when Clan Chief Allan of Clanranald joined the Jacobite Court in France, despite having sworn allegience to the British Crown. A small garrison was stationed in the Castle until the Jacobite Uprising of 1715 when Allan recaptured and torched the castle, purportedly to keep it out of the hands of the Hanoverian forces. It has been unoccupied since that time, although there are some accounts suggesting it was partially inhabitated thereafter including storage of firearms from the De Tuillay in the 1745 Jacobite Uprising and Lady Grange's account of her kidnapping. // Events July 24 - Spanish treasure fleet of ten ships under admiral Ubilla leave Havana, Cuba for Spain. ...

The castle is now in extremely poor condition and suffered a major structural collapse to the northwest curtain wall, repaired by the owner, in 2000.
Controversial proposals to restore the Castle were brought forward in 1997 and received planning consent from Highland Council, however Historic Scotland refused Scheduled Monument Consent -- a decision upheld at a public local inquiry.
