Inverary Castle is a stunning site to explore. Even though
half the castle is closed due to residency; there are some stunning rooms and
artefacts. I just loved the hidden secret passage into the south tower; and the
dining room has a stunning drinks trolley; though I doubt very much it would
have actually been used to serve drinks! The armoury is stunning, with a vast
collection of swords, spears, muskets and pistols, all of which are beautifully
presented and it would be easy to spot a missing piece. In the drawing room is
a beautiful full size ornamental harp amongst the art collections and plush
seats. Upstairs, there is a regimental drum collection, a very colourful
teapot, and countless portraits of the Duke of Argyll and his past and present
family. I would have liked more time to enjoy the gardens and to climb the hill
to the watchtower.
