Inveraray was a planned town built around 1760 for the estate workers of the
Dukes of Argyll. Restoration work has now started on the pier.
Below are photos of Inveraray Castle from over Loch Fyne with the General Wade built bridge over the River Aray in the foreground. This is one of many bridges and roads built to help the British army control Jacobite uprisings in this part of Scotland in the mid 1700s. It's still officially called The Old Military Road.
This modern castle was built from around 1745 (it took forty years to finish) with input from the Adams (William and John) as architects and designers. John Adam was the main architect for the new town.
The castle has been used as a set for several films, most recently appearing in Downton Abbey.
