Inveraray (''Inbhir Aora'' in Gaelic ) is a Royal Burgh in Argyll And Bute , Scotland , located on the western shore of Loch Fyne near its head, and on the A83 Road . It is the traditional county town of Argyll and ancestral home to the Duke Of Argyll , who founded the town in 1745 , alongside his new dwelling, Inveraray Castle . Its distinctive white buildings on the loch shore make it photogenic and it is a popular tourist destination, with a number of attractions in addition to the castle. The Georgian Inveraray Jail in the burgh is now a Museum . Other attractions include the Combined Operations Museum and the Argyll Folk Museum . The Celtic ''Inveraray Cross'' can also been seen in the town, and the '' Arctic Penguin '' ship is moored at the Pier . Alan Bennett , the playwright, writes amusingly about his dining in Inveraray experience in his autobiographical book "Untold stories" {Link without Title} EXTERNAL LINKS
