Invergarry Castle

Invergarry Castle is a ruined Scottish tower house on Creagan an Fhithich overlooking Loch Oich, long associated with the Chiefs of Clan MacDonell of Glengarry. The surviving structure is an L-plan masonry tower house of five storeys in the main block with a six-storey tower and once stood within a service close and barmkin; it was damaged and partially demolished in the 18th century and is now a scheduled monument.
