The Duke rewards Excellence

The Duke was in belligerent mood following this snub from petrol company Shell in 2005 / 2006. His efforts to reward excellence on the forecourt were ignored by Shell executives, leading the Duke to forego his motorised carriage for some weeks in protest.

At the time he had to be physically restrained and force-fed laudanum in order to prevent him from riding south to challenge Turner, Grimsell and Rasmussen to pistols.

Greetings from Inverary

As President of the Friends And Comrades of the Duke of Argyll, I would like to welcome you to the new FACODA web page. Now that you are directly linked to Inverary Castle you shall all have the opportunity to keep abreast of the Duke's progress, and to support him in his various endeavours.

The Duke has hitherto chosen to keep much of his good work unknown to all but a select, happy few. With the end drawing ever nearer however, he has decided that some of his papers must now become available to his noble followers at large. What papers do I speak of? You may well ask. I will be producing some of his finest works from yesteryear as well as presenting the Duke's ever growing body of work. All of which should add up to being a great contribution to the sum total of mankind's knowledge.
