Fassifern, an estate, with a mansion, in the Argyllshire section of Kilmallie parish, on the northern shore of Upper Loch Eil, 7½ miles WNW of Fort William. It was the seat of a branch of the Camerons, to which belonged Col. John Cameron (1771-1815), who fell at Quatre Bras, and over whose grave in Kilmallie churchyard at Corpach is a lofty obelisk, with an inscription by Sir Walter Scott. A stone quarry on the estate supplied material for constructing the Caledonian Canal and building a quay at Fort William.
