What is recorded here

Inveraray Castle is a Gothic Revival country house on Loch Fyne that has served as the seat of the Dukes of Argyll since the 18th century. James V stayed at the earlier castle in 1533, while the present building replaced a 15th-century predecessor after its foundation stone was laid in 1746. The 13th Duke still lives in private apartments between two of its round towers, and the house keeps more than 1,300 weapons from its long Campbell history.
