Inveraray is a town in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Located on the western shore of Loch Fyne, near its head, Inveraray is a former royal burgh and known affectionately as "The Capital of Argyll." It is the traditional county town of Argyll, and the ancestral seat to the Duke of Argyll.

Inveraray is home to a number of popular bars, restaurants and hotels and a number of well-regarded attractions including the magnificent Inveraray Castle and excellent access to Loch Fyne.

Furnace is located on the A83 which connects Inveraray, Lochgilphead and the Kintyre peninsula. Furnace has a very active local shop/post office, a weekend bar in the Village Hall run by the community on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, with meals served in the Village hall most Fridays together with a range of social activities. Inveraray (8 miles to the north-east) and Lochgilphead (16 miles to the south-west) provide an excellent range of further local amenities, shops and professional services. The district is well served by both primary and secondary education and is also served by a bus service offering daily direct connections to Glasgow, Glasgow Airport and to Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre; and daily to Oban via Inveraray or Lochgilphead.
