Old Photographs Loch an Eilein Castle Scotland

Old photograph of the castle in Loch an Eilein South of Aviemore, South of Inverness, Scotland. This Scottish castle is said to have once been the property of Alexander Stewart the Wolf of Badenoch. The Jacobites, retreating from Cromdale in 1690, besieged the castle, which was held by Dame Grizel Mor Grant, widow of the fifth laird Grant. At this time the castle was connected to the shore by a causeway. The causeway was lost when the water level in the loch was raised in the 18th century.
