Inveraray, built as a model new town between 1753 and 1776 by the 3^rd Duke of Argyll close to his seat of Inveraray Castle, on the shores of Loch Fyne, to replace the old town.

It is a planned town with straight streets and houses all whitewashed, made of stone to avoid fire.

In 1774, a woollen factory opened in the town.

The main street: view towards the church, and opposite view from the church to the Loch.
