Inveraray Castle - Clash of Clans
24m · PublishedInveraray Castle is nestled on the banks of Loch Fyne (actual lock, not the seafood restaurant chain) you might recognise it as the fictional Duneagle Castle from the Downton Abbey 2012 Christmas special but there's more to this place than Maggie Smith drinking cups of tea on expensive sofas. The castle also played host to one of the most sorted British scandals in the 20th century.... Today we're joined by Elena Campbell, the Duchess of Argyll, to talk beheadings, tartan & the clashing of clans.
Tom will be performing his new work in progress all month at Edinburgh Festival. Catch the show everyday at 7pm at the Laughing Horse @ The Counting House (Aug 7-27).

And what better place to start than my old gaff, The Tower of London? In this episode I’m talking to the current Queen of the Castle, Megan Clawson and comparing notes on crazy tourists, pesky ravens, and how to spot your Beefeaters from your King’s Guards.
