Inverey ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Inbhir Eidh)) is a hamlet on Mar Lodge Estate, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland that straddles the Ey Burn close to its confluence with the River Dee. Inverey comprises two 'communities' separated by the Ey Burn - Muckle Inverey ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Inbhir Eidh Mhòr)) on the east bank and Little Inverey ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Inbhir Eidh Bheag)) on the west. ==John Farquharson, 3rd of Inverey== During the Jacobite rising of John Graham of Claverhouse following the arrival, in November 1688, of William and Mary in Britain - John Farquharson was commissioned as Colonel by John Graham. Due to his swarthy complexion, John Farquharson is usually referred to as the ''Black Colonel''. The ''Black Colonel'' participated in this rising, and after preventing a Government force of 100 men from occupying Braemar Castle he burnt it preventing its use by Government troops. The final clash of the rising came on 17 July 1689 at the battle of Killiecrankie - where John Graham was killed. After this battle John Farquharson returned to the Braemar area - frequently staying at his home in Inverey Castle. During at least one visit by the ‘red-coats’ led him to hide-out in ''Glen Ey'' (pronounced like eye) on the shelf of rock still known as ''The Colonel's Bed''. The ‘red-coats’ made do with plundering and burning the castle - the ''Black Colonel's'' loyal retainers ensuring he died of old-age about 1698, and was buried in Inverey. The ruins of the old castle are still visible a short distance to the north of the road through Inverey, and the old burial-ground a short distance to the north-west of it. In 1798 - Inverey was added to Mar Estate by James Duff, 2nd Earl Fife. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inverey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
