Inverlochy Castle
Nestling in the foothills of the mighty Ben Nevis, Inverlochy Castle sits amidst some of Scotland’s finest scenery.

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 Guests may choose from three dining rooms, each decorated with period and elaborate furniture presented as gifts to the Castle from the King of Norway.
