Argyll's Lodging
A superb mansion built around an earlier core in about 1630 and further extended by the Earl of Argyll in the 1670s. It is the most impressive town house of its period in Scotland. The principal rooms are now restored as they were in 1680.
An interpretative tour of the Lodging is available on the ground level as well as a display about the inhabitants of the Lodging. Visitors using wheelchairs will need assistance to negotiate narrow passages and doorways. The main decorative part of the Lodging is at the top of a flight of stairs. A bell is located close to the main entrance (which is by steps) to alert staff to open the side gate to allow access via the gardens.
Visitors can be dropped off at the entrance.
