Inveraray Castle (pronounced /ˌɪnvəˈrɛərə/ invə-REHRUH or /ˌɪnvəˈrɛərɪ/ invə-REHREH; Scottish Gaelic Caisteal Inbhir Aora [ˈkʰaʃtʲəl̪ˠ iɲɪɾʲˈɯːɾə]) is a country house near Inveraray in the county of Argyll, in western Scotland, on the shore of Loch Fyne, Scotland's longest sea loch.[1] It is one of the earliest examples of Gothic Revival architecture.
It has been the seat of the Dukes of Argyll, chiefs of Clan Campbell, since the 18th century.
