| OLD HOUSE OF KEPPOCH (Site of) | Old House of Keppoch Keppoch Castle |
Donald McDonald Tenant Duncan Fisher, Teacher Speyside Guide |
141 | "A little to the west, the ruins of the old castle of Keppoch are still pointed out on the banK of the Spean. It is connected with a fearful tragedy. Two sons of Keppoch had been sent by their father, in the sixteenth century, to prosecute their education in France. Their father, who died in their absence, left his affairs in the hands of seven brothers, his Kinsmen. As soon as the young chief and his brother returned They were murdered by their relatives. The old family bard, having revealed the perpetrators of this infamous deed, obtained from Glengarry a body of men, by whom the murderers were brought to merited punishment. The old senachie, having cut off their heads, and washed them in a well by the side of Loch Oich, laid them at the feet of the chief in Glengarry Castle. The well was hence called "Tobar-nan-Ceann," the "well of the heads." and in 1812 a monument, recording these circumstances, was erected over it. Their next house was burnt down by the DuKe of Cumberland, so that present, which contains some relics of the '45, and a few fine paintings, is the third family mansion" Speyside Guide Page 203 & 204 |
