Inverary Castle, the seat of the Duke of Argyll, 1871. The Duke of Argylls seat, Inverary Castle, near the head of Loch Fyne, which stretches far inland along the southeastern side of Lorne, is distant but sixteen miles from the eastern bank of Loch Awe, that mighty sheet of water, supplied by innumerable rivulets and brooks from the surrounding mountains, which Mr. Buchanan aptly calls "The Heart of Lorne"...According to Mr. Robert Buchanan, whose new book with this alliterative title is dedicated by permission to Princess Louise, the "Land of Lorne" includes the Hebrides. He regards what is commonly called Lorne - namely, the seaward portion of Argyleshire between Loch Awe and the west coast, as but "a little garden attached to the Castle of Inverary". From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
