Downton drizzle: Maggie Smith is shielded from the rain between takes in Scotland Pic: ©HEMEDIA/SWNS Group
Cast members were seen in Inverary this week, arriving in the pretty Argyll town as they got ready to film for the hit drama.
Actors from the hugely popular programme spotted in the town included Maggie Smith ad Huhg Bonneville, with locals excited to see the stars frequent local amenities including the Loch Fyne Hotel.
The cast were snapped as they shot some scenes at the striking Inverary castle, the seat the Duke of Argyll, Chief of the Clan Campbell, set in 16 acres of lush gardens.
Unfortunately the Scottish summer weather was up to its old tricks as usual, with Downton stars including Smith spotted being sheltered from drizzly rain by umbrellas.
Downton Abbey is set for a big return on TV screens this September, as the drama comes back for a third much-anticipated series.
The latest series is set in the early 1920s and picks up following the drama that surrounded Bates after his murder conviction, and continues storylines including Mary and Matthew’s engagement.

Thank you for this update! I was hoping that they were going to do a Christmas special. I just hope PBS can show it before rather than after January.
