Old Photograph Tor Castle Scotland
Old photograph of Tor Castle near Fort William, Scotland. An Iron Age fort previously occupied the site of this now ruined Scottish castle. According to local tradition, the fort once belonged to Banquo who features in MacBeth.There has been a castle at the site since at least the eleventh century. The castle was subsequently held by the Clan Mackintosh until it was seized by the Clan Cameron, who built a massive tower house and courtyard. Ewen Cameron of Lochiel, 13th chief of Clan Cameron rebuilt the castle in 1530. The Camerons used the castle as a refuge from attacks by the Clan MacDonald of Keppoch.
