A visit to
the local heritage centre sheds light on the
turbulent history of this Highland region
where many people emigrated to Canada in
search of an easier life. To the south are the
ruins of Invergarry Castle, seat of the
MacDonells, in the grounds of Glengarry Castle
Hotel on ‘Raven’s Rock’. ‘Bonnie’ Prince
Charlie stayed in the castle before his
rebellions of 1715 and 1745. A monument known
as the Well of the Seven Heads recalls the
time when seven men were beheaded for murder.
