River Garry, Inverness-shire facts for kids
The River Garry (Scottish Gaelic: Garadh / Abhainn Gharadh) in Invernessshire is a long river punctuated by a series of long Lochs, in Lochaber. Many of the Lochs are part of a 1960s hydroelectricity scheme. The river begins in The Rough Bounds, and proceeds into Loch Quoich, from where it heads east until it joins the River Kingie at the Kingie Pool. From there it flows into Loch Poulary, and thence to Loch Garry. The final section is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) long, and runs into Loch Oich (part of the Great Glen) just east of the village of Invergarry, through which it runs. Invergarry is the near the site of the 17th century Invergarry Castle; a website showing the village and the river in detail from the air exists at www.myglengarry.com .
Glen Garry - the valley surrounding the river - is the homeland of the MacDonell of Glengarry branch of Clan Donald.
