Inveraray Castle

Inveraray Castle Inveraray Castle is the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll, Chief of the Clan Campbell. Guide dogs welcome.

On the shores of Loch Fyne and in the majestic West Highlands of Scotland sits Inveraray Castle. Known as Argyll’s ‘Jewel in the Crown’, Inveraray is the family home of the Duke & Duchess of Argyll, and the ancestral seat of Clan Campbell. Original Adams' ceilings, tapestries and furniture; a vast array of arms and armoury; five resident ghosts and artefacts tracing the Campbell family's role in s

haping Scotland's history are just some of what awaits your visit. There is limited disabled access for wheelchair users due to the loose gravel around the exterior. Please check the website for accurate opening dates/times before you visit.

As the final weeks of summer begin to unfold at Inveraray Castle, we are reflecting on some of the special moments that have filled the season.
It was a great pleasure to welcome the immensely talented pianist Yann, visiting from France, whose beautiful playing filled the Castle at the end of each day for our guests to enjoy. His music brought the rooms to life and provided a wonderful close to each day.
Although summer may be drawing to a close, there is still plenty of the season left to enjoy. We look forward to welcoming many more visitors to explore the Castle, gardens and wider estate over the coming weeks.

Meet Piper! One of the friendly faces behind our coffee horsebox at the Castle entrance.
 
You might recognise her from a recent video, sneaking Lyra a puppy ice cream when His Grace was taking her on a summer’s walk. Turns out that’s exactly why she’s one of Lyra’s favourite people on the estate...
 
Say hello next time you’re in for a coffee.
