Built on a fishing village in the mid 1700s by the Duke of Argyll, Inveraray is nestled in a picturesque setting by the lapping shores of Loch Fyne. Explore the warren of winding lanes between Main Street and the Loch – you never know what you may find!
Gather the family together and visit one of Argyll’s most famous landmarks, Inveraray Castle, which is still home to the Duke of Argyll. Discover what life behind bars was really like on coach tours to Inveraray Jail - a beautiful Georgian prison that housed criminals from Medieval Times to the 19th Century. Kids will love coach trips to the Arctic Penguin & the Vital Spark – 2 boats (a triple-masted Schooner and Steamer) that house the Maritime Museum.
If you fancy trying something different then head to All Saints Church where you will have the chance to ring the bells – the 2nd heaviest set of Church bells in the world! If you have enough strength left after all that bell ringing, you should definitely climb to the top of the Bell Tower as the panoramic views are wonderful.
· Other places worth a visit are: Glenaray & Inveraray Parish Church, South Main Street, Loch Fyne Whiskies, The Dukes Tower and Inveraray Cross.
