Achnacarry Castle, situated between Loch Long and Loch Lochy, has been the seat of the Camerons of Lochiel since the 1660s. The original building was destroyed in 1746 by men under the command of Captain George Munro of Culcairn as a penalty for Lochiel's part in the '45. Construction of the new house, designed by James Gillespie Graham, began in 1802 but was not completed until 1835-7.
During World War II the house and grounds were used as a training centre for British Commandos, US Rangers and soldiers of other allied armies
