Had a few hours so visited the Duke of Argylls family seat in Scotland...... The castle was rebuilt in the 1700s and was nearly destroyed by fire on two separate occasions the last being 1975 on bonfire night..... Definitely worth a visit as the scenery overlooking the Castle and Loch Fyne from the "Dun Na Cuaiche" water tower is stunning and worth the walk up (248m)... The Campbell family have owned the land since the 1470's eventually gaining Dukedom status in the 1600's ..... The most famous of the family would possibly be Princess Louise 4th daughter of Queen Victoria who married John Campbell 9th Duke of Argyll as they had no children the Dukedom passed on to brother Archibalds siblings then on to younger brother Walters siblings...... Reminds me of the Ealing old classic "Kind hearts and Coronets" ..... American musical duo of Lerner & Loewe composed several songs for "My Fair Lady" on the Piano located in the Saloon room....

I wouldn’t like to have the job of dusting and/or polishing all of the muskets and other weaponry adorning the walls.😌
