The present town of Inveraray was the first planned town in Scotland. It was conceived by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, Archibald Campbell, Lord Ilay, from 1743.
Inveraray sits at the top of the longest sea loch in Scotland, Loch Fyne, 1hr 30 mins north west from Glasgow and 2hrs 30 mins from Edinburgh.
It is known as the ‘Gateway to the Highlands’ and is conveniently located between Oban, Campbeltown, Dunoon and Helensburgh.
The Royal Burgh of Inveraray, nestling near the head of Loch Fyne, is a perfectly maintained Scottish, Georgian era conservation town, built from the 1740’s and is beautifully preserved to this day.
Inveraray is the perfect Scottish destination, the epitome of a historic Scottish coastal town, complete with castle, lochs, gleaming white Georgian buildings, seafood caught responsibly just moments away and lots of Whisky!
The George owes so much to our incredible local community here in Inveraray and Argyll. In return we do everything we can to support our local pensioners, Shinty team, Inveraray Golf Club, Inspire Inveraray and other local organisations as well as excellent, grass roots charities throughout Scotland. We sponsor the World Caber Tossing championship at the Inveraray Highland Games.
The longest sea loch in Scotland stretching south down to Campbeltown on the Kintyre Peninsula. The Loch has a long history of fishing with Inveraray having 500 fishing boats landing at the Pier in the early 1800’s. Herring was the staple catch.
The Adventure Coast of Argyll is 5000 miles long, more than the whole coastline of France. Its history dates back to ancient Kings of Dal Riata being crowned on Dunadd Hill.
The population is only 90,000 for this vast expanse of land and 23 inhabited islands. An amazing area to escape the distractions of modern life.
It’s all there for you, sea adventures, Munro bagging, seven National Nature Reserves, beaches, the islands of Tiree, Coll, Iona, Mull, Rhum, Jura and Islay, distilleries and abundant wildlife.
