River Inver and Quinag, Sutherland
The River Inver issues from the west end of Loch Assynt and flows south-west through splendid mountain scenery to Loch Inver, a sea loch. At its estuary lies the little town of Lochinver.
During the English Civil War, the great Marquis of Montrose, still fighting desperately for the Stuart cause against Cromwell's troops, spent his last weeks in this neighbourhood. He was eventually captured by Macleod of Assynt in 1650 and taken, starving, to Ardvreck Castle, the ruins of which now stand on a peninsula in Loch Assynt.
Montrose's journey to his execution in Edinburgh is movingly told in Neil M. Gunn's fine short story Montrose Rides By.
