Fun Facts

• Once the seat of the powerful MacDonell clan who controlled the Great Glen region.

• The castle was damaged multiple times during 17th- and 18th-century conflicts.

• Its tall stair-tower remains one of the most recognisable features of the ruin.

• Located within the grounds of a historic Highland estate near Loch Oich.

Invergarry Castle stands on the wooded slopes above Loch Oich, once serving as the stronghold of the Clan MacDonell of Glengarry. The ruined tower house rises dramatically from the trees, offering a striking glimpse into Highland clan history. Although partially destroyed after the Jacobite uprisings, its tall, broken walls still dominate the landscape and give a powerful sense of the past.
