Kingairloch village

This part of Morvern was the traditional home of the Macleans of Kingairloch. From the late 1400s their main base was at Glensanda Castle, on the shore of Loch Linnhe four miles south-west of Kingairloch. They seem to have given this up in about 1780 in favour of a more modern and better sheltered house known as Connach, built at the head of Loch a' Choire. In 1800 the Macleans sold their Kingairloch estate to an English landowner, James Forbes, and emigrated to Canada. Forbes had the existing house at Connach extended to become the first Kingairloch House.
