Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish bagpipes music, of Inveraray Bridge and Castle on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Argyll, Britain, United Kingdom. The present castle was built in the Gothic Revival style. Work on it began in 1743. This castle replaced an earlier 15th century castle. The foundation stone was laid in October 1746. It has been the seat of the Dukes of Argyll, chiefs of Clan Campbell, since the 18th century. The 2012 Christmas episode of Downton Abbey was partly filmed here; the castle portraying the fictional Duneagle Castle. Aray Bridge, also known as Inveraray Bridge, is a stone two-arch public road bridge on the Inveraray Castle estate near Inveraray in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, carrying the A83 road over the mouth of the River Aray where it flows into Loch Fyne. The present structure replaces a military bridge of 1758 designed by John Adam which was destroyed by floods in 1772. It was planned in 1773 by Robert Mylne for the Board of Ordnance and Colonel John Campbell, 5th Duke of Argyll, on whose estate it stands. The contractor was J. Brown and it was completed in 1775. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome
