Inveraray Castle
-
Despite the ravages of fire, clan Campbell’s family seat is a splendid pseudo-Gothic palace with pointed towers marking its corners. It was built for the Duke of Argyll in 1745. The lavish interiors were designed by Robert Mylne and contain Regency furniture and priceless works of art. The Armoury was stocked to fight the Jacobites and is an awesome display of weaponry. If you have time (it’s about a 90-minute round trip) walk to the hilltop folly in the grounds.
