The Duke of Argyll employed the services of Adam and Milne, renowned architects of their time. Together they built the first planned town in Scotland, Inveraray. The buildings in the main town remain whitewashed with blackened window surrounds.

The Royal Burgh of Inveraray was the administrative town for the area, with a Judicial Court and Jail. It is home to the Duke of Argyll, head of the Clan Campbell

The industry of the town was herring. The smoking of these fish produced the famous Loch Fyne Kipper. The fish industry survives along the longest sea loch in Scotland, with farmed salmon, mussels and oysters. Loch Fyne Oysters Ltd at the head of the loch produce arguably some of the best smoked varieties of salmon in Scotland.
