This morning we visit white-walled Inveraray. Sitting on the western shore of Loch Fyne since 1745, when it was established by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, head of Clan Campbell, the town has a long history and many fine Georgian buildings. Explore at your own pace, perhaps visiting the neoclassical church, or the Jail which is now an award-winning museum that tells of the lives of prisoners throughout the centuries. Venture just outside of the town and you will find Inveraray Castle which remains the family home of the Dukes of Argyll to this day and is set in extensive grounds. We return to the hotel for a festive cream tea.

I only wanted to book a self drive weekend but the form is designed for foreign travel and requires a lot of unnecessary detail to get booked.
