Inverlochy Castle

Inverlochy, although now in ruins, holds a unique distinction as it has remained remarkably unchanged since its construction during the reign of King Alexander III. Situated on the southern bank of the River Lochy, it guards the strategically vital entrance to the Great Glen, a crucial passage through the Scottish Highlands. Originally, the castle's defence was fortified by the river on one side, while the other three sides were safeguarded by a water-filled moat.
