Scope and Content Lounge, the Royal Clyde Yacht Club (now the Royal Marine Hotel), Marine Parade, Hunter's Quay, Dunoon, Argyll & Bute The Royal Clyde Yacht Club, designed to include a clubhouse and adjoining hotel, was built by the Glasgow architect, Thomas Lennox Watson, in 1888-9. The lounge of the hotel was photographed in 1890 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The room has an arched inglenook with leather-covered seating on either side of the fireplace. It is furnished with Victorian chairs whose patterned material co-ordinates with the wallpaper, and lit by brass pendant gas lights with decorative scrollwork. In the late Victorian period most large houses were lit by gas. Although this was challenged by the invention of the electric light in 1887, installation of electricity was expensive and confined to grander country houses able to generate their own.
