Inveraray Castle

Inveraray Castle is located in the county of Argyll, in western Scotland.  The castle sits on the shore of Loch Fyne, which is Scotland’s longest sea loch.  The estate has been the seat of the Duke of Argyll, chief of Clan Campbell since the 17^th century.  The castle’s architecture is neo-Gothic in design, with crenellated circular towers.  Inveraray is believed to be haunted by a harpist, who was hanged in 1644 for “peeping at the lady of the house.”  The television series Most Haunted has filmed at this location.  And in 2012, the Christmas episode of Downton Abbey was partially filmed at Inveraray.  The castle is home to the 13^th Duke of Argyll, his wife, and their three children.  The homestead boasts a 16-acre garden that encompasses only a small fraction of the 60,000 acres estate.
