Scope and Content Detail of fireplace in drawing room of Ardlamont House, Argyll and Bute Ardlamont was the principal residence of the Lamonts of Lamont from about 1664. In 1818 Major-General John Lamont decided, despite inherited debts, to rebuild the house 'fit for my family on the most limited and frugal plan'. In the drawing room to the west of the hall there is an ornate pine chimneypiece of late 18th-century type. It is carved with urns, vine-swags and foliage-sprays. The house has been altered internally as tastes and functions changed. Doorways have been moved and the use of certain rooms has changed. For example, in the drawing room, the doorway has been moved from the south to the north end of the east wall. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
