Originally a stage coach inn, the Invergarry Hotel was built by Edward Ellice, who had bought the Glengarry and Glenquoich estates from the bankrupt chiefs of Clan MacDonell.
John Anderson, a friend of Robert Burns from Ayrshire, retired to this small village on the west side of Loch Ness where his daughter had married the innkeeper. After a visit here Burns wrote the poem 'John Anderson, my Jo'
Anderson was a carpenter to trade and reputedly made Burns' coffin.
Anderson died in 1832 and is buried in Kilchuimen Cemetery in Fort Augustus.PLACENAME:InvergarryDISTRICT:LochaberOLD COUNTY/PARISH:INVERNESS: KilmonivaigPERIOD:1910s; 1920sSOURCE:Highland LibrariesCOLLECTION:Highland Libraries' Postcard CollectionAsset ID:37252KEYWORDS:
