Old Photograph Cluny Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Cluny Castle near Laggan and Kingussie, Scotland. This Scottish castle was built in 1805 for the MacPhersons of Cluny. The original tower of the Cluny MacPhersons was destroyed in the aftermath of the battle of Culloden in 1746 by government troops, due to MacPherson of Cluny's support of the Jacobite cause. Andrew Carnegie and his wife Louise leased Cluny Castle for nine summers in the late nineteenth century. Carnegie attempted to purchase the castle but the owner refused, and Carnegie subsequently bought Skibo Castle.
