Inveraray Jail isn't just for children. A tour of this living museum is interesting for adults also. The mock trial is well conceived. The exhibits professional and informative. The guides dressed in costume bring the prison to life but don't make the experience cheesy. Inveraray Jail provides insight to a different sliver of history.
