On this day, 6th June 1944, the world held its breath. But the courage that stormed the beaches of Normandy was forged long before, right here on the shores of Loch Fyne.
During the Second World War, Inveraray Castle became the nerve centre of Britain's amphibious training programme. Over 250,000 Allied troops passed through these grounds, practising beach landings on our loch in preparation for the largest seaborne invasion in history.
Today we remember them. 🌹
