The North West names are best for  pronunciation tests - and the Welsh ones  ;D ;D ;D
Absolutely.

Though there are a few from further south and east that are also a challenge.

For example Aberuthven, Alford, Alves, Athelstaneford, Baledgarno, Drumelzier, Dumyat, Friockheim, Glamis, Kilconquhar, Kingussie, Maryculter, Milngavie, Peterculter, Rothes, Strachan, Strathaven, Tomintoul among others.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I'm sure you can, having lived 25 years in Scotland.:)

..... not counting the many half years I spent up there.

However, we've still not solved the question of who now owns the Castle.

Indeed.

Any recent change of ownership should be on record in the Land Register https://scotlis.ros.gov.uk/

To search this, you need to know the post code of the property. The post code of Kilravock Castle is IV2 7PJ.
 
The last purchase date on record is 18 September 2020, so the latest change of owner hasn't reached the online register yet. Once it does, you can apply to the Land Register for a copy of the title, which should tell you who bought it.

You could send an e-mail to the e-mail address on the link posted by aghadowey above https://www.kilravock.com/

Or you could write a good old-fashioned letter - the postal address is Kilravock Castle, Croy, Inverness IV2 7PJ - and ask your question that way.

Which reminds me to ask what information you are hoping to get from the castle owners? Might it be something that is on record somewhere else?

This might be relevant as  I see that the OP's research interests include:

The last owners did not have it for long then.  Did the charitable trust own or rent it.
