What is "inveraray"

Inveraray ( or ; ; "mouth of the Aray") is a town in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is on the western shore of Loch Fyne, near its head, and on the A83 road. It is a former royal burgh, the traditional county town of Argyll, and ancestral home to the Duke of Argyll.

Inveraray in Argyllshire was a royal burgh that returned one commissioner to the Parliament of Scotland and to the Convention of Estates.

After the Acts of Union 1707, Inveraray, Ayr, Campbeltown, Irvine and Rothesay formed the Ayr district of burghs, returning one member between them to the House of Commons of Great Britain.
