NH 31491 00612 Consolidation of the late 16th- to early 17th century Invergarry Castle was begun in November 2006 and is nearing completion in November 2007. The roofless castle stands in part to five storeys in height. It is of L-plan, though the wing at the S W corner was largely destroyed after the 1745 uprising, while the adjacent stair tower collapsed in the early 1990s. There is a further round stair tower at the NE corner.

Though no groundworks have been necessary, a watching brief has been maintained throughout the consolidation works and a comprehensive photographic and written record of the building compiled.

Funder: Historic Scotland, Mr and Mrs McCallum.
