Glengary

Glengary, a Highland glen in west Inverness-shire, through which the Garry winds 19 miles eastward, from Loch Quoich to Loch Oich, 8 miles SW. of Fort Augustus. It was the home of the Macdonnells from the beginning of the 16th century. The last chief, who died in 1828, is considered to have been the prototype of Fergus MacIvor in Waverley.—There is another Glengary, in the north-west of Perthshire, traversed by the Highland Railway. Its Garry River falls into the Tummel.—For the Glengary Cap, see BONNET.
