Ardkinglas, a beautiful estate on the easterly shores of Loch Fyne is a delight!  The forest gardens are open to the public, but we had the privilege of a private showing, a step back in time to view the interior of this lovely home.  In the main salon, this charming protrait captured my attention.  In the chamber rooms this little sleeping alcove was so cozy.  I took some artistic license with the curtains and brightened the pale pink to red stripes to match the red in the young lady's portrait.  The most notable Campbell of Arkinglas was Sir James Campbell, 2nd Baronet of Ardkinglas , c. 1666-1782, a British Memeber of Parliament.  You can read more in his memoir online.
