Scope and Content Dovecot at Carloonan, Inveraray estate, Argyll and Bute This circular dovecot, was one of the first two buildings to be built in the policies of the 3rd Duke. Roger Morris (1695-1749) designed it in 1747 and it was completed in 1748 by the mason, William Douglas (b.1736) at a cost of £53. In 1776 Robert Mylne (1733-1814), working for the 5th Duke of Argyll, suggested adding a dome to the dovecot with a smaller dome surmounting the original lantern and a colonnade around the building. The plans were not carried out. The now-disused Inveraray dovecot is one of the few ever built in Argyll, due to the rarity of corn and other feeding-stuffs for the birds. In 1617 the building of dovecots had been regulated by an Act of Parliament. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
