As a result it was moved to a new location between 1750 and 1780. The new town of Inverary was built on a coastal site. It was laid out and built with all the formality and grandeur of a ducal burgh and the seat of county government – only on a village-like scale. The column (left) is part of the church which stands in the central square. The houses beyond are appropriately, if anachronistically, urban in character. Other planned towns drew their success from industry, state backing or tourism. Resource pack   1     2     3     4
