Castle or Inveraray Castle*, historic seat of the
Duke of Argyll. On our return journey we can pause to admire
the spectacular Kilchurn Castle, majestically situated on Loch
Awe and spectacularly framed by mountains.
In Inverarary we can explore its white-washed
Georgian houses, wide streets and views across the shores of Loch Fyne
before we commence our return journey over the 'Rest and Be Thankful';

Loch Lomond, before heading back to Edinburgh.
