Inveraray Travel Guide

 ettiewyn Says:  Rest and Be Thankful is one of the most famous viewpoints in Scotland. It is located on the A83, about 25km from Inveraray, and overlooks the glen of Glen Croe. The saddle of the hill pass is 245m above sea level and is the highest point in the area around Loch Fyne. It got... 

 ettiewyn Says:  Loch Fyne is the feature that distinguished the town of Inveraray... It is a very large loch by area, and therefore the town has a maritime feel to it. The day I visited here was very sunny, and the loch was so beautiful: The water was clear and blue, the surrounding... 

 ettiewyn Says:  The main street is very pretty, with its rows of white houses. They all look very similar, but when the sun is shining, they look just nice and create a pleasant atmosphere. It is obvious to the visitor that Inveraray is a planned town: The main street goes up from the shore... 

 ettiewyn Says:  The Maritime Museum consists of two ships which lie in anchor on the shore of the loch. Unfortunately the museum was closed, presumably because it was off season, but the good thing about a museum consisting of ships is that you can see the exterior of the ships even if you... 

 ettiewyn Says:  Inveraray Parish Church was built from 1792 to 1802 in neoclassical style. It is located on Church Square at the southern end of the main street, with the street forming a circle around it. In fact, in the beginning I did not realize that this was a church, it does not look... 

 ettiewyn Says:  I did not visit the jail because our time in the town was limited and I rather wanted to spend it differently, as I am not too interested in visiting such jails.I had a look at the building, though, which was built in 1820. It is quite an impressive building for such a small... 

 ettiewyn Says:  Along the shore of Loch Fyne, there are two particular things of interest: The Celtic Cross, and a war memorial.The cross dates back to the 14th or 15th century and is beautifully carved. It was the market cross of the original village of Inveraray. This village was located... 

 scottishvisitor Says:  We travelled the road often between Tarbert and Inveraray and spotted the staggered signs by the road side for this eatery - it had a take on the Master Card advert in the form of signs stating = Starter £1.50 - Main Course £4.50 - dessert £2.50 - seat by the fire - free!... 

 tracylacie Says:  This pub is a mans domain.....at least that is what a local told me. It seems that in the afternoon, early evening this is the place to be for local men. In the late evening this pub is frequented by men and women alike and is a fun spot to be. Take time and listen to the... 

 scottishvisitor Says:  If you remember back to your childhood a sweetie shop crammed full of deliciously tempting boiled sweets trapped in glass jars then this shop is for you. The many shelves are lined top to bottom with jars and jars of old favourites. The choice of sweets is endless and I felt... 

 tracylacie Says:  If you care for a driving adventure with some wonderful scenery then take the single track road at the end of Glen Lomond (there is a car park there overlooking the breathtaking glen). This single track road will take you the back way to Inveraray. It offers glorious views... 

 ettiewyn Says:  The Inveraray Woollen Mill is a small complex next to the town's main car park. The shop itself is not very unique, it seems to be similar to the ever-present Edinburgh Woollen Mill, with the same tourist junk and cliché souvenirs. I bought a small book with poems by Robert...
