Old Inverlochy Castle

Inverlochy Castle, a striking 13th-century ruin near Fort William, is one of Scotland’s most historically significant medieval fortresses. Built around 1270 by the Comyn family, once powerful rivals of Robert the Bruce, the castle played a key role in Scotland’s turbulent past. Its strategic location at the foot of Ben Nevis, near the River Lochy, made it a vital stronghold, witnessing two major battles, including the decisive Battle of Inverlochy in 1645, where the Royalist forces of the Marquess of Montrose defeated the Covenanters. Today, the well-preserved ruins, including its imposing stone walls and corner towers, offer visitors a glimpse into Scotland’s medieval past.
