In Focus
Inveraray
Castle stands in extensive grounds to the north of the town of
Inveraray, close to where the River Aray flows into
Loch Shira. It is a magnificent chateau whose striking symmetry and conical roofed towers ensure it
would look just as much at home in the Loire Valley as it does in
Argyll. The story of
Inveraray Castle is inseparable from the story
of the Campbells of Lochawe, Chiefs of Clan Campbell since the end of the 1200s. (

Featured Book
Eyes Turned Skywards by Ken Lussey (31 May 2018).
Wing Commander Robert Sutherland has left his days as a pre-war detective far behind him. Or so he thinks. On 25 August 1942 the Duke of Kent, brother
of King George VI, is killed in northern Scotland in an unexplained air crash; a second crash soon after suggests a shared, possibly sinister, cause.
Bob Sutherland is tasked with visiting the aircraft's base in Oban and the first crash site in Caithness to gather clues as to who might have had reason
to sabotage one, or both, of the aircraft.
