EDITORS COMMENTS
Invergarry Castle, nestled in the Scottish Highlands, stands proudly overlooking Loch Oich in the Great Glen valley. This historic castle, set on Ravens Rock (Creagan an Fhithich), was once the seat of the powerful Clan MacDonnell of Glengarry. The image captures the castle in its early 20th century glory, around the 1910s, showcasing its grandeur and historical significance. The castle, surrounded by lush greenery and the tranquil waters of Loch Oich, is a testament to Scotland's rich heritage and history. The Great Glen, a major geological fault line that runs through the Scottish Highlands, provides a breathtaking backdrop to the castle, adding to its mystical allure. The Clan MacDonnell of Glengarry, a powerful and influential clan in Scottish history, held sway over the lands surrounding Invergarry Castle. The castle's strategic location on the shores of Loch Oich made it an important stronghold, providing a commanding view of the surrounding area and allowing for easy access to the loch and the Great Glen. Despite its grandeur, Invergarry Castle, like many Scottish castles, has seen its fair share of destruction and ruin. The castle was attacked and damaged several times throughout history, including during the Jacobite rebellions in the late 1600s. However, the castle's ruins continue to stand as a reminder of Scotland's storied past and the powerful clans that once ruled its lands. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period when the Clan MacDonnell of Glengarry held sway over the Scottish Highlands from their seat at Invergarry Castle. The image is a reminder of the rich history and heritage that Scotland has to offer, and a testament to the enduring allure of its castles and ruins.
