There has been a castle on the shores of Loch Fyne ICONIC since the 1400s, although the present Inveraray Castle wasn’t built until the late 18th century. Inspired by a sketch by Vanbrugh, the architect of Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard, it is baroque, Palladian and gothic in style, and was architecturally ahead of its time. A fire in 1877 resulted in the addition of the third floor and the conical roofs on the corner turrets – creating the familiar ‘fairytale’ HISTORIC castle we see today. Inveraray Castle is the ancestral home of the Dukes of Argyll and the seat of the Clan Campbell. The Campbells arrived in Argyll as part of a royal expedition c.1220 and settled in Lochaweside, where their Chief, Colin Mor Campbell (‘Colin the Great’) was placed in charge of the King’s lands in the area. His name, ‘MacCailean Mor’ is still used by the Duke of Argyll, Chief of the Clan Campbell, today.

A tour of the Castle provides a glimpse of the Clan heritage HOME and the part played by the Duke of Argyll’s ancestors through generations of Scottish and British history. To the Duke and Duchess, however, the Castle is first and foremost a family house. They and their three children look forward to welcoming you in sharing the magic and magnificence of this wonderful place they are proud and privileged to call home. Inveraray Castle & Gardens
