More about this scene

Inverary is set picturesquely on the shores of Loch Fyne, where it meets Loch Shira. Though now a substantial settlement, it was built on the site of a modest fishing village in the 1700s by the 3rd Duke of Argyll. He demolished the old village and constructed a grand castle, rehousing the local people in well-designed Georgian dwellings along the new Main Street.
