Scope and Content Factory Land and Ferry Land, Inveraray, Argyll (Argyll and Bute council area) Factory Land was built with a large weaving shop for woollen cloth on the upper floor, and two small dwelling houses on the ground. It had a short life as a factory, as the Duke of Argyll moved the business to Claonairigh in 1777. This view shows the two-storey, piend-roofed Factory Land, with the later three-storey Ferry Land to the right. Part of the sea wall which protects Inveraray from the waves on Loch Fyne can be seen on the right. In the later 18th century the establishment of small textile workshops was seen as a very proper way to improve a landowner's planned town or village. The provision of space here was very limited, and the move to Claonairigh is not surprising. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
