Inverlochy Castle, Medieval castle in Highland, Scotland
The castle features a quadrangular layout with four round towers connected by thick walls, situated near the River Lochy entrance to Great Glen.
John 'Black' Comyn constructed the fortress around 1270, establishing control over the southwestern access point of the Great Glen passage.
The stone structure represents medieval Scottish military architecture with its defensive design influenced by Welsh fortification techniques of Edward I.
Historic Scotland maintains the castle ruins, which remain accessible to visitors through guided tours and educational programs throughout the year.
The castle grounds contain a water-filled moat on three sides, fed directly by the River Lochy, leaving only one side accessible.
