Leading from the MacArthur Room, the Picture Turret contains photographs, press cuttings and up to date memorabilia of the family. These include pictures of the present Duke as Marquess of Lorne, his wedding to Eleanor Cadbury and their son Archie, the present Marquess of Lorne.
Other displays include pictures of the Dowager Duchess, the wedding of Lady Louise (the Duke's sister) to Mr Anthony Burrell and the funeral of their father the 12th Duke, recording his last journey as he sailed to Innishail to be laid to rest beside his father.
The Picture Turret shows also contains pictures of HMS Argyll. There is a very strong link between the ship and the castle and three Royal Navy ships have had the name, the first dating back to 1715 which was a 50 gun fourth rate frigate, the second a Devonshire Class armoured cruiser launched in 1904 and now the high-tech duke class frigate commissioned in 1991. |
