Introduction:

The ancient Royal Burgh of Inveraray is located 60 miles north west of Glasgow by Loch Fyne in an area of spectacular natural beauty. The ruggedness of the highland scenery serves as a spectacular backdrop for the sheltered tidal Loch, beside which nestles the present Castle built between 1745 and 1790.

Getting There:

Today's visitor to Inveraray Castle begins in the car park to the north west of the castle itself. From here you progress to the main entrance on the castle's north east side, perhaps first visiting the shop, cafe and other facilities in the basement of the castle. Beyond the grand entrance porch and ticket booth is a surprisingly modest entrance hall. Modesty is not the first word which comes to mind as you progress from the entrance hall to the state dining room with its magnificent decoration and furnishings
