On arriving at the First Floor Gallery, visitors can admire a compilation of paintings and artefacts before before moving on to the Clan Room, devoted to the history and development of the Clan Campbell.
In the Victorian Room, the principal feature is a maplewood writing desk given by Queen Victoria to her daughter Princess Louise on her marriage in 1871 to the Marquess of Lorne, later 9th Duke of Argyll.
A gruesome and ghostly chronicle of the bloodthirsty past, divulged in the MacArthur Room haunts the elaborately carved four poster bed, once the state bed of the MacArthurs of Loch Awe.
Leading from the MacArthur Room, the exhibition of photographs and articles in the Picture Turret depict the recent past including an illustrated account of the wedding of the current Duke to Eleanor Cadbury. |
