Castle that is a private home open for viewing
In Inveraray, home of the noble house of Argyll and one of the most influential clans in the history of Scotland, the Clan Campbell, is the impressive and well preserved Inveraray Castle. The castle has great views of the city and lake, thanks to its location, and it is sheltered by woods and gardens, making a contrasting effect, from the town the castle is hardly visible. It was constructed between the years 1746 and 1789 by order of the Duke of Argyll and modifying the initial plans made by the architect John Vanbrugh. The castle has undergone 2 major reforms that give its current appearance, a bit different from its original appearance.
Due to its attractive appearance, is became one of the major attractions of the area, so its current owner, the 13th Duke of Argyll, who lives there all year, agreed with his father and grandfather, former dukes, in enabling an indoor area for visitors, as well as allowing access to foreign tourists and the Gardens area. Inside photos and videos are not allowed, as it is a home ... It's lovely, but there is limited space inside , which disappoints. Although I think the images offered abroad speak for themselves, along Kilchurn Castle on Loch Awe, a few miles from Inveraray, without dudad is the attraction to visit in the area of Argyll in the west of Scotland.
