Inveraray
Inveraray is a town in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is on the western bank of Loch Fyne, near its head, and on the A83 road. It is a previous royal burgh, the old county town of Argyll, and ancestral home to the Duke of Argyll. In accordance with population approximations in 2010, the town has a population of around 603 people. The end product was an eye-catching town which included houses for estate workers, a woollen mill, and a pier to exploit herring fishing, which was to flourish in later years to play a major role in the town's economy. Much of the town's development took place in the late 18th century. The finished product is one of the finest examples of an 18th-century new town in Scotland, and the large bulk of the properties in the centre of Inveraray are deemed worthwhile of protection owing to of the town's architectural significance. There are a variety of notable tourist attractions in Inveraray. Apart from the castle, the Georgian Inveraray Jail in the burgh is now a museum. Other interests include the Argyll Folk Museum at Auchindrain. The Celtic Inveraray Cross can also been seen in the town. The iron sailing ship Arctic Penguin is moored at the pier, along with the Clyde puffers VIC 72, Vital Spark. The Bell Tower overlies the town, and includes the second-heaviest ring of 10 bells on earth. The bell tower is open to everyone, and the bells are sounded on a regular basis. In autumn 2014, PBS premiered a series, Great Estates of Scotland. Inveraray was included in one episode, as was the current Duke of Argyll, head of the Campbell clan.
