Our excursion was "Inveraray Castle"

It has been the seatof the Dukes of Argyll, chiefs of the Clkan Campbell since the 18th century. It opened in 1789. Te 13th Earl of Argyll, Sir Torquhil Ian Campbell livesin a private part of the castle. He was seen running the cash register of the gift shop the morning we were there.
