What is recorded here
Castle Camp trained combined operations forces beside Inveraray Castle during the twentieth century. The official record identifies the camp and training site without claiming that the castle itself became a military base. The distinction matters because the camp used local land for war work while the castle kept its own separate identity.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Inveraray Castle, Combined Operations Training Centre, Castle Camp as Military Camp (20th Century), Military Training Site (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Inveraray Castle was built in the 18th century by the Duke of Argyll, 10th Earl of Campbell, as the seat of the Campbell family, a prominent Scottish noble house. It is important as a historic and architectural landmark in Scotland, reflecting the power and influence of the Campbells in the region.
