Scope and Content West front of Jubilee Hall from the south-west, Malt Land Square, Inveraray estate, Argyll and Bute This group of 18th-century office and farm buildings stands 1km north-west of Inveraray Castle. Work was begun by John Adam (1721-92) and completed by Robert Mylne in 1776-84. By 1782, the Riding School had been built on the east side of the court. Gutted by fire in 1817, it was rebuilt as Jubilee Hall in 1897. It reproduced the external appearance of the Riding School, but the style of the roof was altered. Most of the masonry is harled rubble with sandstone dressings around the window openings. The west front has a giant arcade of seven bays, three of which contain doorways. The Riding School was of the same overall dimensions as the 'Great Shade', opposite. Mylne's plan for the courtyard brought symmetry and scale to simple farm buildings.
