Ghostly goings on in the MacArthur Room

"The boy's ghost became deeply attached to the bed, so that when the bed was moved from the old castle, his spirit came too and the MacArthur Room is reputedly haunted".

Royal Warrant
Side Drum - Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders

The Clan Room conveys the many fascinating historical aspects of the great Clan Campbell, from its origins right through to the present day, with the Duke of Argyll as Clan Chief or MacCailein Mor.

The room includes the remarkable and detailed family tree which adorns the South Wall and traces the Campbell lineage and its various branches of the family from the present day back to Colin the Great in 1477.

A map of Scotland shows the lands possessed by the Clan at the height of their power. In addition to most of Argyll, the Campbell strongholds stretched as far East as Taymouth in Perthshire, a castle which in many ways replicates Inveraray, North to Cawdor Castle in Inverness-shire and South to the now ruined Louden Castle in Ayrshire.

There is also a fine collection of military drums loaned by the Caledonian Schools Trust.
