Old Photograph George Hotel Inveraray Scotland
Old photograph of passenger bus and cars outside the George Hotel in Inveraray, Scotland. The George Hotel was originally two private houses completed in 1770. They were part of a project by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, started in 1744, to build a whole new town in Inveraray. This was to be the first example in Scotland of a planned town. The Duke of Argyll employed the services of Adam and Milne, renowned architects of their time. The buildings in the main town remain whitewashed with blackened window surrounds. The industry of the town was herring fishing. The smoking of these fish produced the famous Loch Fyne Kipper. The fish industry survives along the longest sea loch in Scotland, with farmed salmon, mussels and oysters.
