Inverlochy Castle
Inverlochy Castle is a 13th-century quadrangular enceinte on the south bank of the River Lochy near Fort William in the Scottish Highlands. The castle survives as a ruin that has changed little since it was built and is now a scheduled monument in the care of Historic Environment Scotland.

As it stood in 1280
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact quadrangular castle of coarse grey-brown rubble stone sited on the south bank of the River Lochy. The plan is roughly 31 by 27 metres, enclosed by a continuous curtain wall up to 2.7 m thick with round towers at each corner, the largest being the circular Comyn Tower about 6.1 m across internally. At its prime the walls rose to around 7.6 m with crenellated parapets; the north side faced the river while the other sides were protected by a water-filled ditch.
