The owners of a Downton Abbey film location in Argyll are on the hunt for an assistant to help tend the gardens.
The role at Inveraray Castle is seasonal, but may become permanent for the right candidate, the job advert states.
Inveraray Castle is the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll, Chief of the Clan Campbell.
The castle was used as a film location for the Downton Abbey Christmas episode in 2012.

The post continued: “If you’ve always dreamed of working in a Scottish castle in the idyllic location of Inveraray, then please get in touch!”
