Scotland - Inveraray

On one of our last day's in Scotland we drove from Dunoon to Inveraray, a very scenic drive along a couple of lochs, and toured the town and Inveraray Castle.  I already wrote about Inveraray Castle a few days ago, so let me have this blog post focus on the town of Inveraray.  

Map of Inveraray, Scotland and surrounding area.

After visiting Inverary Castle we parked in Iveraray and walked around.  Inveraray is located at the end of Loch Fyne and offers some very scenic views.  We were there for several hours in total so it was very cool seeing the difference in the shoreline between high tide and low tide.  While in Inveraray we had lunch at one of the many excellent restaurants (from what I'm told since we only actually ate at one of them).  I had fish and chips, which I highly recommend if you ever visit Scotland.  If memory serves correct, I had fish and chips no fewer than four times in Scotland!  All were excellent!  

After walking around a bit and checking out the shops in Iveraray, we stopped at one of the several ice cream shops in the town for a tasty dessert.  Before leaving Iverarary we stopped at The Loch Fyne, a local seller of Loch Fyne Scotch whiskies.  We tasted a couple and purchased a bottle of whiskey.  Okay, fine, we purchased two bottles of Scotch whiskey.  LOL!

Before heading back to Dunoon, we drove a bit along the loch shoreline, taking in the views.  All in all it was an excellent day.  If you're looking for a more laid back day while in Scotland, I recommend the Inveraray area.
