Roger Mylne completed the magnificent interior decoration, from 1772-82, for the fifth duke. There are many historic relics, as well as portraits by Gainsborough, Ramsay and Raeburn. A new feature that was added in 1984 is the adjacent Combined Operations Museum, recalling that Inverary was the Second World War's first British Combined Operations training base-a base through which passed over a quarter of a million troops of many nations. We stop for lunch at the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar before continuing our drive to remote Kilchrenan. Our accommodation, the Taychreggan Hotel , is located on the beautiful, peaceful shore of Loch Awe.
Relaxation is the keynote here and the dedicated staff ensures that guests want for nothing.
The Taychreggan is a three-star property with just 20 en suite bedrooms. Dinner tonight is at the hotel. This morning we leave Kilchrenan for the Isle of Skye, stopping in Fort William for lunch. The legendary Isle of Skye is accessible by ferry and is one of the largest and most picturesque of the Scottish islands. Many of the numerous places of interest on the island have associations with the famous Scottish heroine, Flora MacDonald.
