Travel Guide
Travel BookTrail style to Inverary/Invermoray
Invermoray and Invermoray House in the novel are fictional but they could be in Inveraray as they sound similar and you could go to the latter and pretend. It’s also on great loch – Loch Fyne so you can imagine the scenery and the setting both during wartime and in present day.
The estate is revealed in both 1940s and the present day. In the present day, Kate has been hired as a PR representative t improve the estate and bring it back to life. It’s to be turned into a luxury travel location. With the remote and stunning setting, and the grand hall, rooms and hidden corners, not to mention the gardens, it really is a place you would want to go.
