We drove to Inveraray yesterday and I took a stroll around the Castle. The gardens were beautiful. No camera flash was allowed inside the Castle.

An Inveraray Castle has been standing on the shores of Loch Fyne since the 1400s. The castle was built in the Gothic Revival style. Work on it began in 1743, which replaced an earlier 15th-century castle.
The castle of today was the result of a fire in 1877, with the addition of the third floor and conical roofs on the corner towers.

It has been the seat of the Dukes of Argyll, Chiefs of Clan Campbell, since the 18th century. The 13th Duke and his family live in private apartments occupying two floors and set between two of the four crenellated circular towers. Recent renovations included the installation of the first central heating in the house. It is a Category A listed building.

These are book/magazine quality, Sylvia. Gorgeous!

(My mother --a Campbell-- always told us kids we were heir to some castle in Scotland. If this is the place she was talking about, I hereby claim the third floor in the turret on the right. Looks like there'd be a good view from there.)

Thank you so very much for your generous and encouraging comments Cany, good to know you enjoyed them. I think you would be very comfortable living in that part of the castle. It is said that the ghost of an Irish harpist plays his music often there when he is happy, when annoyed he throws books around in the library........sleep well Cany.
