Town of Inveraray
Inveraray is one of the earliest and best preserved planned towns in Scotland which replaced the original village which dated back to the 1400's. The Royal Burgh of Inveraray was established in 1745 by Archibald, 3rd Duke of Argyll. Much of the town, including the church, was designed and built by the Edinburgh-born architect Robert Mylne. Located on the western shore of Loch Fyne near its head, and on the A83 road, the beautiful planned town retains its distinctive white-washed buildings with black window surrounds.
Only a 5 minute walk from The Town House and The Loft, neo-gothic Inveraray Castle is the family home of the Duke of Argyll, head of Clan Campbell, and is open to the public for many months of the year. Visit the attractions page via the button below.
