INVERARAY

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 718 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
INVERARAY , a royal and municipal
burgh
 , the county town of Argyllshire,
Scotland
 . Pop. (19o1) 1369. It lies on the southern shore of a bay, where the river Aray enters Loch Fyne, 40 M. directly N.W. of Glasgow, and 85 M. by water. The town consists of one street running
east
  and west, and a row of houses facing the bay. Near the church stands an obelisk in memory of the Campbells who were hanged, untried, for their share in the Argyll expedition of 1685 in connexion with the duke of Mon-mouth's rebellion. The ancient market-cross, 8 ft. high, sup-posed to have been brought from Iona in 1472, is a beautiful specimen of the Scottish sculptured stones. The
chief
  industry is the herring fishery, the herring of Loch Fyne being celebrated. The town originally stood on the north side of the bay, clustering round the ancient baronial hold, attributed to Sir Colin Campbell of Lochow. " the Singular," who flourished at the end of the 14th century, but it was removed to its present site in the middle of the 18th century. Inveraray was erected into a
burgh
  of barony in 1472; and Charles I., while a prisoner in Carisbrooke Castle, raised it to a royal burgh in 1648. Much has been done for it by the ducal
house
  of Argyll, whose seat, Inveraray Castle, is about 1 m. from the town. This handsome square structure, built between 1744 and 1761 from designs by Robert
Adam
 , consists of two storeys, with a round overtopping tower at each corner. Some fine tapestry and valuable relics were destroyed by fire in 1877, but the damage to the castle was repaired in 1880. The earls and dukes of Argyll were
great
  planters of treesmainly
larch
 , spruce, silver fir and New England pines----and their estates around Inveraray are consequently amongthe most luxuriantly wooded in the Highlands. Duniquoich. a finely timbered conical hill about 900 ft. high, adjoins the castle on the north and is a picturesque landmark.
