Scope and Content Garron Lodge, Garron Bridge, Inveraray estate, Argyll and Bute John, 5th Duke of Argyll (1723-1806), inherited Inveraray in 1770, and was responsible for much building on the policies and continuing the work of the 3rd Duke. The architect Robert Mylne (1733-1814) did a lot of work for the 5th Duke. This porter's lodge at Garron Bridge was designed by Mylne and built in 1783-4, although Mylne's plan was not fully executed. The west gable-wall, seen here to the left, was designed as a two-bay arcade, now infilled with a modern door and window. The arched bays on the west and south walls of the lodge maintain the continuity of the seven-bayed arcaded screen-wall to the right. The gateway was designed for two-leaf panelled timber gates, the existing iron gates being 19th century. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
