Scope and Content North-west façade of the court of offices at Strachur House, Argyll and Bute Strachur House, a provincial Classical house, was built by General John Campbell to replace an earlier residence at Succothmore, and was at first known as Strachur Park. It appears to date from the 1780s and was first assessed for window tax in 1785. The late 18th-century court of offices is 60m south of the house and separated from it by a small stream. It consists of four ranges around a courtyard. The north-west range faces the ornamental bridge and has an advanced centrepiece. The centrepiece has an elliptical arch and a moulded pediment, which is surmounted by an octagonal timber dovecot. Buildings in the court of offices included stables, a hayloft, a coach-house, barns, a cart-shed, a tackroom and cottages for the workers. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
