Garrison of Inversnaid

Following the Jacobite insurrection of 1715, the Garrison of Inversnaid was established in 1718. Rob Roy MacGregor was the Duke of Montrose's primary cattle procurer and herder. Rob Roy borrowed money from creditors and was unable to repay them immediately, so they published an ad in the Edinburg Gazette calling him an outlaw. As Rob Roy's employer, the Duke needed to appear to be disciplining his renegade employee, so he wrote to King George III, requesting that a garrison be built in the heart of Clan Gregor territory, which is, of course, precisely here.

The building was eventually taken over by Jacobite soldiers in 1745 and used as a garrison until the end of the 18th century when it was converted into an inn and a sheep farm before becoming a bed and breakfast for visitors looking for a really quiet stay in the Scottish countryside.

Guests can enjoy traditional Scottish breakfasts prepared at the Garrison using produce grown on the premises. Every day, for an additional price, a homegrown organic meat or vegetable stew is offered with crusty bread. Guests will have the opportunity to meet, feed, and pet farm animals such as Highland cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens during the personalized farm tour. Skiing, cycling, and hiking are just a few of the activities available in the area.
