Ewen Cameron, XIII Chief of Camerons, built "Tor Castle" in the early
15th century.
It was abandoned (but not torn down) by his great, great, great grandson Sir Ewen "Dubh" Cameron of Lochiel, XVII Chief of Camerons.
Sir Ewen Cameron wanted a "more convenient" house, which was further
removed from the Clan Mackintosh, Clan Campbell and Oliver Cromwell's garrison
at Inverlochy Castle. He built Achnacarry
Castle in around 1655 in a strategic position on the isthmus between Loch
Lochy and Loch Arkaig.
