ID:PC_GLENGARRY_ELLICE4_12DESCRIPTION:Invergarry Castle is on the shores of Loch Oich, in the grounds of what was Invergarry House (now the Glengarry Castle Hotel). It dates from the early 17th century when it was built as a stronghold of the MacDonell clan. In 1654 it was burned by General George Monck, but was rebuilt and fortified. It changed hands during the 1715 Jacobite Rebellion, and was visited by Bonnie Prince Charlie during the 1745 Rebellion. In 1746, the castle was destroyed by the Duke of Cumberland's forces and was never rebuilt.
The watercolour is by Janie Ellice (1813 – 1864), wife of Edward Ellice junior, who bought the Glengarry Estate in 1860.
