Scope and Content Detail of bow on west gable 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. In 1785 the architect Robert Mylne (1733-1814) proposed some alterations to the inn. He may have advised on the bow-fronted south-west wing built in 1793 by John Tavish, mason, at a cost of £455. A second stable court was added at the same time. 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.
