Invergarry Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Invergarry, Scotland
Invergarry Castle is a fortified ruin in the Scottish Highlands that sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking Loch Oich. The remaining stonework rises several stories and contains various defensive openings built into the walls.
Clan MacDonell built this fortress in the early 17th century to secure control over the Great Glen. The castle marked the beginning of a new era of power for the family in this strategic region.
The castle was the seat of Clan MacDonell and symbolized the family's control over this part of the Highlands. Today the ruins tell the story of a powerful clan that ruled these lands.
The site is best viewed from the road with good vantage points nearby. Visitors should approach the remains with caution as the ruins can be unstable in places.
The walls display numerous shot holes that reveal how 17th-century builders designed their defenses against early firearms. These small openings show the engineering choices that made the fortress practical for its time.
