The Duke of Argyle has a most magnificent palace in Roseneath (being the owner of the peninsula), and the grounds are
expensively laid out by walks, lanes, avenues lined with native and foreign trees, a flower garden of ten acres, containing neither
fruit nor vegetable, but shrubs, herbs, and flowers, from every clime that would grow in the open air in Scotland, surrounded by a
lilach (sic) or lilyook hedge overhanging a pailing which, in the time of blossom, had a beautiful appearance. In our time there was
no Church, but the Established Church, of which the forenamed Mr. Story was Minister. At the Dissruption of 1843 he clung to the
Old Church, he said in the Assembly on the following day, "If there had been more praying and less speaking, the Church of
Scotland would not be in its present position".
There have been many changes there since, in many respects, and the place greatly altered in appearance, the present Duke
having let for building most of the Roseneath shore to Glasgow, people so that the retired quiet shores are now become a line of
buildings for summer enjoyments and winter retirements for those sick of crowded cities.

Inveraray Castle is a castle in western Scotland. It is the seat of the Chief the southern branch of the Clan Campbell, the Duke of
Argyll.
The initial design for the castle was made in 1720 by the architect Sir John Vanbrugh, who also designed Blenheim Palace. This
design was later developed by the architects Roger Morris and William Adam, who oversaw the beginning of the castle's
construction in 1746, commissioned by Archibald Campbell, 3rd Duke of Argyll. It was completed in 1789 for John Campbell, 5th
Duke of Argyll and his wife, Elizabeth. Built in an eclectic mixture of architectural revival styles, it stands on the original site of the
village of Inveraray - when Archibald Campbell decided to build the castle he had the village demolished and rebuilt a mile away, so
that it would not impinge on the castle's outlook.
Incorporating Baroque, Palladian and Gothic architectural features, the castle layout is square with four round, castelated towers at
each corner, each of which bears a conical spire. It is surrounded by 2 acres of formal gardens and 14 acres of parkland and lies
around a mile north of the village of Inveraray, near the shore of Loch Fyne in Argyll and Bute.
The castle was damaged by two major fires, in 1877 and 1975, but most of its important artefacts and features survived or have
been restored. It contains outstanding furnishings and interiors from the 18th and 19th Centuries. The elaborate decoration of the
castle's State Dining Room, completed in 1784, is the only surviving work of the French painters Girard and Guinard, who were also
commissioned by the then Prince of Wales (later George IV) to decorate his London residence, Carlton House. The Armoury Hall,
which contains a display of wall-mounted weapons dating from around 1740, has the highest ceiling in Scotland (21 metres, or
nearly 69 feet). Inveraray Castle is the home of the current duke (Torquhil Campbell, 13th Duke of Argyll) and his family
