Inveraray, Scotland

Rating:
 

Inveraray with its straight wide streets and Georgian homes is one of the earliest and best-preserved planned towns in Scotland and, thanks to its proximity to Glasgow, it is a great destination for a family vacation or a weekend holiday break with kids. Enjoy hill walking or relax on the shores of Loch Fyne. Visit the Inveraray Castle and one or more of the town's attractions or stay and night or two and get under the skin of this sleepy town rebuilt by the 3rd Duke of Argyll between 1734 and 1822.

 
Getting there
 
Inveraray is located 70 miles (110 km) north of Glasgow and 38 miles (60km) south of Oban. Families traveling from Glasgow will want to rent a car or take a bus.
When to travel
 
The best time of the year to visit Inveraray and the environs is in spring and early summer from April-June. In the peak season, July-August, not only are there crowds, the weather is once again fickle. It is just as likely to be hot and sunny as it is cold and wet.
Things to keep in mind
 
The Tourist Information Centre is located on Front Street and can be reached by dialing +44 (0) 1499 302063.
