A Very British Scandal has made its’ debut on Prime Video and fans are wondering – just what castle is that?
Starring Claire Foy and Paul Bettany, the three-part series centers on The Duke and Duchess of Argyll, who went through a very public divorce in 1963. The headline-making trial involved allegations of forgery, bribery, theft, infidelity and more.
One of the settings of the series is in a very old castle and production designer Christina Moore has opened up about the importance of it in the show.

While speaking with Variety, Christina confirmed that the castle in the series is the actual Inveraray Castle, where former couple once called home.
It’s based on the west coast of Scotland in Inveraray.
“We looked at a lot of other castles in similar landscape settings and the same area of Scotland between the east and west coasts in the highlands,” she shared. “But the exterior of Inveraray was so specific and incredibly grand. It had this amazing setting on Loch Fyne that we couldn’t find anywhere else.”
However, Christina explains, the “current Duke and Duchess were very amenable to our project, and they welcomed filming on the estate.”
“While lockdown was challenging in some ways, in terms of finding locations, it became really good for us because it meant that a lot of places that would usually have a lot of tourism had been closed for a year. They were very welcoming to a film crew, and there were no visitors to disturb,” she added.
“Our conundrum was how to tell the story by finding other locations to add to it, and by doing some work to the real castle to give it that history. We did that in two ways. We used few visual effects, mostly with onset dressing and just to add greenery.”
