Now in ruins was the seat of the chiefs of the MacDonnell’s of Glengarry. It was burned down in 1654 rebuilt c1660-1665 partially destroyed again after 1745 by troops under “Butcher” Cumberland.
We visited Invergarry Caslte on route to our holiday destination. There is a small single road that leads to the castle... from the main road. The castle is as quite badly ruined with a fence surrounding it to keep people out for their own safety as it has seen better days. The best thing about this location is that it's free to view which means it's worthwhile visiting if you are passing.read more
Secluded little stop off. We were the only people there. The castle ruins are fascinating although fenced off for... safety. We mooched along the short track alongside the loch and played with the dog in the water. Felt like our own little secret place! Great little stop off.read more
The surroundings of Invergarry Castle are beautiful. There is not much of the castle itself left but its a great back... dropIfor an easy forest walk or a great spot to stop for a picnic.read more
Don't have to go a large castle to see castles in Scotland or Ireland. This one is on your way to Loch Ness. Another... off the beaten track finds.read more
Nice and scenic. You wont spend long at the castle itself as there is not much of it and very little information around... it. Beautiful castle ruins but that's about it. I wouldn't go out my way to see it but if you're in the area worth a quick look.read more
Beautiful peaceful location where we were able to park right next to the castle. The castle is fenced off due to safety... measures but it didn't diminish the visit in any way.read more
Well I like ruins ... SO although it really is in real bad shape, WE both wanted to see historical sites and sounds... of Scotland..This castle was probably a grand place all those centuries ago, but now this sign tells you how it is.read more
Fenced off to "protect the public" can get it if you go to the right hand side and hop the barbed wire as there's a... bent bit of fence that you can squeeze throughread more
Invergarry castle is a wonderful small ruin located atop small cliff along Loch Oich, just off the A82 and makes a nice... place to stop and take a break from driving. You can walk around the outside of the castle, and there are warnings against entering with the gate chained shut. There is also a small walk down to the water edge where you can see a boat wreck listing to the side.read more
There's not much to see as its caged off and for very good reason it's a ruin, the only reason I was there was the... vessel marooned in the Loch which I used to work on many moons ago. Sad to see it go to waste ?read more
Beautiful castle ruin, but most parts is now on the ground. Although, the part still standing gives an idea of what it... looked like before it was burned down and blown up(!).read more
Worth a quick stop if you're passing by and want to stretch your legs, but not a special visit. It's a crumbling... castle. It must have looked great back in its day.read more
Just a quick stop on the way by to get a couple of captures to add to my old castle album. Not much to see but I’d like... me you are a castle fan then you have to stopread more
Hmmm, well Scotland is ram packed with castles you can walk about in to get a sense of history. This is a crumbling... ruin behind a fence. I wouldn't intentionally go here unless you're staying in town and have some time to walk along the river. It's a 2 minute stop, at best.read more
Beautiful and imposing castle with a storied history and in a great location. Even the drive through the woodlands is... worth the visit. The castle itself is inaccessible for safety reasons but there is full access around it and as one of the walls has collapsed you can get a great view inside. It would of been a massive structure in it's heyday and there's still a lot left, a testament to the strength of the castle.read more
Great wee ruin if you are into the thing. Added mistery atmosphere thanks to rain, mist, and hidden forest setting.... Great spot for pictures, tooread more
