  • Guest Directory Change of Ownership & Revival of a Famous Name
    Guest Directory Change of Ownership & Revival of a Famous Name The hotel was purchased by the Byrne family in the summer of 2015, returning the business to local ownership for the first time in many years. Opened in 1755 to national acclaim, the hotel was known as “The Inveraray Inn”. Our first act as new owners was to reinstate the original name. Our family has a long history in the hotel trade, is local to Argyll and also owns the nearby Best Western hotel in Crianlarich and the beautiful Ivy House, our Front Street neighbour (ask at Reception for booking details). Since purchasing the hotel, we have invested more than £1 million in a full and sympathetic refurbishment of this iconic and historic building. We hope that you are as pleased with the "new" hotel as we are. Please enjoy your stay. A Brief History of Inveraray Inveraray, at the head of Loch Fyne, owes its prominence to the rebuilding of Inveraray Castle, seat of the Duke of Argyll, in the 18th century. The town's history, however, goes back much further, since it was made a Royal Burgh in 1638 by Charles I. The Argyll family, who hold the chieftainship of the Clan Campbell, have been important players in Scottish history, with a happy knack of usually picking the winning side during centuries of bloody inter-clan feuding and bitter political in-fighting. The Campbells' contentious massacre at Glencoe of their rival MacDonalds in 1692 is long remembered, but their positive role in shaping modern Scotland cannot be overstated.

  • Inveraray Jail - Prisoner Records
    INVERARAY JAIL - PRISONER RECORDS http://www.inverarayjail.co.uk/ USE THE EDIT / FIND ON TOOLBAR TO SEARCH NAMES and ENTRIES BY TOWN and VILLAGE By tradition and history 'the county town Argyll, Inveraray's courthouse and prisons, designed by James Gillespie Graham in 1813, after original plans by Robert Reid in 1807, opened in 1820 - Whilst Reid's original plans hadd included a courthouse and three prisons - one for males, one for females and one for debtors - The Prison Commissioners, lacking finances, had to be content with building only the courthouse and but one prison, eight cellss contained in its two floors - Following the 1839 Prisons (Scotland) Act, a second prison, separating men and women and designed by Thomas Brown of Edinburgh, was opened at the end of 1848, the new three-storied prison having twelve cells, an exercise gallery and a pair of outdoor exercise yards, the idea of separating male and female prisoners stemming from the somewhat misguided persuasion that such a system gave prisoners time to reflect upon their sins ! After the passing of the 1877 Prisons (Scotland) Act, the responsibility for the running and financing prisons taken away from local authorities, small local prisons were successively closed in favour of large prisons, such as Glasgow's 1882-built Barlinnie Prison and though Inveraray's jail, the last of the small prisons, was closed on August 31, 1889, courts continued to sit in Inveraray's courthouse until around 1954.4. After an extensive programme of restoration was undertaken by The Scottish Office in the 1980's, the building then lying empty for some years, Inveraray Jail was opened to the public as a 'visitor attraction' in May 1989 and the records of more than 4,000 of its Victorian prisoners put online for the interest of family history researchers.

    CANDIDATE STATEMENTS ARROCHAR AND TARBET COMMUNITY COUNCIL BAX, Anne S To represent the community of Arrochar, Tarbet and Succoth. GREENWOOD, Ellen Maria I have been a resident in Arrochar since 2000. I worked for a number of years in the GP surgery – assisting to develop the evening clinic and YOUTH group. My family and I appreciate the benefits of the 3 Villages Hall – regularly supporting events and groups. I attend Arrochar Parish Church and help in the fundraising team. As the primary role of the Community Council is to communicate the views of the community to local authorities, I would welcome the opportunity to share my time and skills to support and promote a community where I am proud to live. HAGGARTY, Mary I have been a community councillor for the past twenty years first serving with Glencroe and now with Arrochar and Tarbet. Over the years I have been involved in many different projects and issues some of which have been solved or completed quickly and others are “still ongoing”. Being a community councillor is not a job for anyone who gives in easily, and I can assure you that I have over the years proved my staying power! My promise to you is that to the best of my ability I will continue to seek a fair deal from any Authority whose responsibility it is to deliver services to the residents of Arrochar, Tarbet and Ardlui.

It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.
