Scope and Content View of the north-east front of the Argyll Arms Hotel, Front Street, Inveraray, Argyll and Bute The earliest of the public buildings to be built in 'new' Inveraray was the 'great inn', now the Argyll Arms Hotel. With the institution of the new circuit court in 1748, suitable lodgings became necessary for the judges and lawyers. The north-east front of the hotel is close to what it would have been like in 1756, apart from the sun-lounge, added in 1900, which encloses the original entrance arch. The original twelve-paned windows were replaced with plate glass in the 19th century. Built as part of the show front of the new town, the inn was designed by the architect John Adam (1721-92) in 1750 and was finally finished in 1756. Adams designed it as a nine-bay coaching inn with a central pend, leading to a stable yard. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
