Attractions
Inveraray Castle is the ancestral seat of the Duke of Argyll, Clan Chief of the Campbells. The castle invites visitors to tour its armoury, elegant rooms and grounds.

Inveraray Castle
Inveraray Castle, just a short walk from the hotel, is the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll who founded the town in 1745. Visitors are invited inside to learn more about the history of the building and to tour the many grand rooms and admire the extravagant décor and furnishings on offer.
Inveraray Jail
Inveraray Jail, completed in 1820, is a 'living museum' where real people portray what life was like in a 19th century prison. This fascinating attraction offers visitors the unique opportunity to step back in time on a journey through the gory history of the late medieval judicial system and see what life was like for prisoners within this once overcrowded jail.

Kilchurn Castle
Once owned by the Campbells of Glenorchy, and built in the 1400s, Kilchurn Castle sits in the shadow of Ben Cruachan on Loch Awe, a short distance from Inveraray on the road to Oban.
Exploring
As the traditional county town of Argyll, Inveraray overlooks the waters of Loch Fyne and whilst there's much to do in the village itself, there's a lot to explore and discover in the area around the loch and further afield, making Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa an excellent base for those who wish to day tour before returning to recharge following a days adventures. To the south, lies the Crinan Canal and the rugged coast and beaches of the Mull of Kintyre, whilst to the west and north, mountains and lochs lead the way to Oban which is in easy reach as the gateway to the Islands off the west coast of Scotland.
