Brief history of site

Achnacarry is the ancestral home of the Camerons of Lochiel. They have managed the estate for over 300 years and continue to develop the gardens.
The designed landscape was first laid out during the latter half of the 17th century, destroyed after the 1745 rising and redesigned in the mid-19th century.
