| Caption: | Invergarry Castle. Built on 'the Rock of the Raven,' the castle was last occupied in 1746. In that year, in retribution for Glengarry's prominent role in the Jacobite campaign, Cumberland's troops pillaged and burnt his stronghold before using gunpowder to demolish a corner of the castle, ending a turbulent 80 year period of attack and counter-attack on the castle. The 'new' castle had been built to replace an earlier one destroyed by General Monk in 1654. After Culloden the castle was never rebuilt and the ruins still stand in the grounds of the Glengarry Castle Hotel.* |
