Invergarry
For several centuries the story of Invergarry was the story of the MacDonnell family. They were the lairds here when, after raids by the Mackenzies in 1602, they decided to fortify the Rock of the Raven, a rocky outcrop on the west bank of Loch Oich. The result was an imposing five storey L-plan tower house, Invergarry Castle.
Invergarry itself lies a couple of hundred yards to the west of Glengarry Castle. Its focus is the junction between the A82 as it crosses the River Garry over a high concrete bridge built in the 1930s, and the A87 as it heads west along the north side of Glen Garry en route to Kyle of Lochalsh.
Most of the village is strung out along the A87 to the west of the junction. The most striking of the buildings here is the Invergarry Hotel.
