The first Scottish ironworks of any historical importance was the blast-furnace at Invergarry where building was commenced in 1727 by Thomas Rawlinson. The furnace commenced work on 25th August, 1729, and closed down, for want of iron ore on 9th February, 1736.
All traces of the furnace and buildings have been obliterated. They stood on the south side of the River Garry, just above the bridge, and an old map is all that remains to point out their position.

Nothing remains of the ironworks, but a considerable scatter of blast furnace slag was found on and around the footpath at NH 3132 0111. Between NH 3132 0111 and NH 3102 0107 there are traces of a lade.
