Tour Scotland Photograph Monarch Of The Glen

Tour Scotland photograph of one of the buildings used in the television series Monarch Of The Glen by Loch Laggan, Highlands, Scotland. This gatehouse can be seen in the BBC drama, Monarch of the Glen. Since the beginning of recorded time, The Macpherson Clan, one of the major parties to the confederation known as Clan Chattan, occupied the lands in the upper reaches of Strathspey and the western part of Badenoch; indeed, leadership of this powerful grouping was a bone of contention with Clan Mackintosh, and the issue was not resolved, as it turned out, in the Mackintosh’s favour, until 1672. Their rights of occupation were originally based on a grant from the Bishop of Moray and, in more recent times until the middle of the 19th century, from the Duke of Gordon but, whatever the legal niceties, the Macphersons regarded the land as theirs by virtue of undisputed possession.
