Inveraray Castle

Visit the romantic Inveraray Castle on the shores of Loch Fyne and discover one of Scotland’s finest stately homes.

The ancient Royal Burgh of Inveraray is located 60 miles north west of Glasgow by Loch Fyne in an area of spectacular natural beauty. The ruggedness of the highland scenery serves as a spectacular backdrop for sheltered tidal Loch, beside which nestles the present Castle built between 1745 and 1790.

The ancestral seat of the Dukes of Argyll, Chiefs of the Clan Campbell whose have resided in Inveraray since the early 15th century, Inveraray Castle was designed by Roger Morris and decorated by Robert Mylne. Its fairytale façade houses an equally enchanting interior.

Visitors enter the famous Armoury Hall containing some 1300 pieces including Brown Bess muskets, Lochaber axes and 18th century Scottish broadswords. They can also view preserved swords from the Battle of Culloden. The fine State Dining Room and Tapestry Drawing Room contain magnificent French tapestries which were woven especially for the Castle, fabulous examples of Scottish, English and French furniture and countless other precious artworks. The castle’s priceless collection of china, silver and family heirlooms spans generations which are illustrated by the fascinating genealogical display in the Clan Room.

The castle’s beautifully maintained garden and expansive estate offers fantastic stalking, fishing, shooting, walking alongside first-class holiday accommodation. There is a tearoom offering visitors light refreshment and a gift shop selling a range of quality Scottish items.
