Invergarry (Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Garadh) is a village in the Highlands of Scotland, located about 25 miles (40 km) north-east of Fort William. It is in the Great Glen, near where the River Garry flows into Loch Oich.[1]
Geography
[edit]Near the centre of the village is the junction between the A82 road (from Inverness to Fort William) and the A87 road which branches off to the west towards Skye. The ruined Invergarry Castle is situated near the village on Creagan an Fhithich (the Raven's Rock), overlooking Loch Oich. As well as playing host to the local shinty club, Glengarry Shinty Club, it is the home town of shinty player, James Clark.
Invergarry Church (Church of Scotland) is situated on the hillside above the A87 road.[2] The village has a primary school with a roll of 33.[citation needed]
