I spotted this wonderfully happy mural on a building in Glasgow as I was about to embark on a tour through the Highlands.
There is actually a young family that lives here in the castle. The 2012 Christmas episode of Downton Abbey was partly filmed here.
And the digs!

Very cool that you got to visit where Downton Abbey was filmed. I love that show!
It was an interesting castle to visit, too. I agree, Downton Abbey was terrific!
Lessandra, I love your “puppets on a string.”
I did too. It was awesome!
Wow – what an impressive castle.
I wonder if the young people living in the castle are caretakers or heirs. I thinking living in a castle like this would be fun and a bit scary at the same time. What a big building with lots of cavernous rooms (it would be marvellous if they’re all furnished).
The ones we saw upstairs and downstairs had furniture or displays. The occupants are the Duke of Argyll and his family – they live in a separate part of the castle that is not open to the public. Click on Inveraray Castle just under the castle photo and it will take you to their website.
It really was – and enjoyable tour through it.
Nice photos! I enjoy visiting castles too. #OurWorldTuesday
Beautiful interiors of this impressive castle
Someone lives there, really, how interesting. Cool about DA being shot there. I love the mural, it’s almost an homage to My Fair Lady.
The puppet mural is both cool and funny. Would love to see someone try to bring the idea to life with real puppets. Thanks for contributing to this week’s Monday Mural.
Wow, great tour! Love the mural and the castle.
