Tour Haunted Inveraray Castle Scotland
Tour Haunted Inveraray Castle, Scotland. The ghost of a young woman who was murdered by the Jacobites can been seen haunting both the grounds and the castle. The 2012 Christmas episode of Downton Abbey was partly filmed here; the castle portraying the fictional " Duneagle Castle ". Inveraray Castle also featured in a series on Scottish castles made by American broadcaster PBS. The " Best of the West " festival, organised by the Duchess, is held at the castle each September. Work on the castle began in 1743 and replaced an earlier 15th century castle. In October 1746 the foundation stone was laid. Built in Gothic Revival style, later additions included a third floor with dormer windows and steep conical roofs. The village of Inveraray was moved in the 1770s to give the castle a more secluded setting.
