Why is this Late Fifteenth Century Castle so Famous?

Inveraray Castle is one of the most famous castles in Scotland. Situated on the banks of Loch Fyne, it dominates the small town of Inveraray and has long been associated with Scottish royalty. The imposing building has stood since the late fifteenth century and has been the home to many generations of Clan Campbell, who are known as the Dukes of Argyll. Today, Inveraray Castle is open to the public and visitors can explore its grand rooms, impressive antiques and stunning grounds. The gardens have been carefully landscaped with manicured lawns, fountains and a giant treehouse – making it one of Scotland’s most impressive gardens.
