Scope and Content Drawing showing plans for redevelopment of Islay House, Islay, Argyll and Bute Islay House stands to the north of the village of Bridgend, overlooking Loch Indaal. Erected in 1677 by Sir Hugh Campbell, the original house was altered and extended by a number of subsequent owners in 1731, the late 18th century, 1841 and 1909-11. This plan shows the different building phases of Islay House. The original 1677 core was L-shaped, and the addition of 1731 created a symmetrical half-H-plan house. Two stair-towers were added at opposite ends of the building in the late 18th century. Two ancillary or service blocks were added to the rear of the main house in the late 18th century and in 1841. The earlier block (left) was also altered in 1841 by William Playfair. The right block was altered in 1909-11 by Detmar Blow for Hugh Morrison. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
