Comment posted on Wonder what’s inside Inveraray Castle? by Bob Clark
All praise to the Castle for organising this – I hope that as many local residents as possible take advantage of the offer.
Some may wonder if Auchindrain will follow suit. The answer to this is that we maybe don’t need to. For anyone who lives between Loch Awe and Loch Fyne, north of Tullochgorm and south of Stronshira, admission to Auchindrain is free all year round.
Why not make a day out of it? Visit the Castle first, and then come on to Auchindrain to see how the other 95% spent their lives!

- Price of peat from Auchindrain falls
For anyone who wants peat for their winter fire, we are open most weekdays from 10am until dusk. But it’s worth ringing first to check we are there that day – 01499 500235. - Price of peat from Auchindrain falls
Yes, it is good news about the “All Our Stories” award from the Heritage Lottery Fund. However, to split hairs but also to give credit where it’s due, the project isn’t being run by Auchindrain itself, but by the Friends of Auchindrain. The two bodies will of course be working closely together, but the slow and methodical work involved in tracing the township’s people through history is one “Auchindrain” priority that the Friends can take on. There is much that needs to be done that they cannot, so this is some intelligent thinking within an effective partnership. - Campbeltown’s Wee Picturehouse gets biggest government repair grant
Many congratulations from Auchindrain on this splendid award. A great achievement for Jane Mayo and her team, and excellent news for Campbeltown. - Accidents throw Argyll roads into chaos earlier today
Seb, our good wishes to you for a speedy recovery. If you are able, once you are back on your feet again, do please come and visit us at Auchindrain. Stay in touch! - Accidents throw Argyll roads into chaos earlier today
Thank you for your kind comments. We acted as seemed reasonable and decent at the time, in taking the passengers off the stopped Service 926 – and also in informing people in the queued traffic, many with kids, that just round the corner they could find refreshments and toilets.We’d do the same for anyone in a crisis.

Pingback: Argyll News: Wonder what’s inside Inveraray Castle? | For Argyll | Castles of the Realm
Interesting idea….Do you think they’ll open up the “dungeons” too?
Though, would have thought that anyone living under the umbrella of Argyll & Bute council, should be described as “local”.

We’ve had reports today of people’s experiences at the Castle on Sunday – hugely enthusiastic.
The food has been getting rave reviews, the helpfulness of staff many mentions and, on an awful day outside, several have said they enjoyed the experience so much they forgot about the outside world and got a bit of a shock when they left.
Folk were not charged even for car parking – which they had expected to have to pay.
Certainly, from these responses, local word of mouth for visitors is going to be everything the Castle management would have hoped.
