Invergarry Castle is a ruined castle situated in Inverness-shire, Scotland, positioned strategically on a promontory overlooking the River Garry. The castle dates primarily from the 17th century, though the site may have had earlier defensive significance. The structure comprises the remains of a substantial fortified residence, characteristic of the period when Highland chiefs sought to consolidate power through architectural display. The castle was damaged during the Jacobite period and subsequently fell into decline, leaving the fragmentary remains visible today that testify to its former importance as a seat of local authority in the Scottish Highlands.
