Scope and Content View of Maam Steading from the north-east, Inveraray estate, Argyll and Bute John, 5th Duke of Argyll (1723-1806), encouraged advanced farming methods on his estate at Inveraray. Maam Steading was the last stage in the Duke's experimental farms and was specially designed for the drying of crops. In 1784 Robert Mylne (1733-1814) sent the Duke 'a small plan for farm buildings in Glen Shira'. Mylne's final design was for a circle of double-width sheds, but only the north half of the scheme was completed, consisting of a central barn and side wings. The southern half of the scheme would have contained stables. The central feature, to match the barn opposite, was to have been a dairy, henhouse and servants' rooms. The steading, and Dubh Loch Bridge, were the only works of Mylne in a Gothic style. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
