Scope and Content View of the Argyll Arms Hotel from the north-east, Front Street, Inveraray, Argyll and Bute Archibald, 3rd Duke of Argyll, who inherited the title in 1743, initiated the removal of the town of Inveraray to a new site 0.6km to the south. A plan for the new town was drawn up in 1744 by the duke and Lord Milton (1692-1766). The creation of the new town took over 30 years. The earliest of the public buildings 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. 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.
