Achnacarry Castle, Category B listed country house in Highland, Scotland
Achnacarry Castle stands between Loch Lochy and Loch Arkaig, constructed in Gothic Revival style with Scottish baronial architectural elements.
The original castle from 1655 was destroyed in 1746 after the Battle of Culloden, leading to the construction of the current structure in 1802.
The castle maintains strong connections with Clan Cameron, serving as the ancestral residence for the Cameron chiefs throughout generations in the Scottish Highlands.
The castle grounds include the Clan Cameron Museum, which displays artifacts related to clan history, military regiments, and regional heritage.
During World War II, the castle operated as the Commando Basic Training Centre, preparing 25,000 soldiers from multiple allied nations for specialized combat operations.
