Tips

Invergarry Castle is situated in an atmospheric setting overlooking Loch Oich. The castle was built between 1610-40 by Donald Mac Angus, eighth chief of Clan MacDonell of Glengarry. The castle survived attacks in 1644 during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms burnt by the forces of General Monck in 1654. These days, the ruins are a very interesting site to observe. Unfortunately, you cannot get inside but can still see a fair bit.

The castle ruins are fenced off and cannot be entered.
Behind the castle, a small stone staircase leads to the lake, where you can see a wreck that has run aground.
