HistoryNestling in the foothills of the mighty Ben Nevis, Inverlochy Castle sits
amidst some of Scotland's finest scenery.
Inverlochy was built in 1863 by the first Lord Abinger, near the site of the
original 13th century fortress.
In September 1873 during a trip to Balmoral, Queen Victoria spent a week at
Inverlochy sketching and painting where she wrote in her diaries 'I never saw a
lovelier or more romantic spot'.
Inverlochy had been a private residence for over a hundred years until 1969
when it was converted from a family home to Scotland's finest country house
hotel.
Inverlochy Castle is set in arguably one of the most beautiful places
in the world. The Highlands of Scotland is famous for its stunning scenery,
lochs, mountains, waterfalls and places of historical interest.
