Scope and Content View from the south-west showing the archway and lodge 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 original entrance to the house was by this arched gateway with an entrance lodge and along an avenue (which still preserves some of its original trees). The round-headed arch is 3.35m wide with a flat slab-coping above. The arch is recessed between lower walls with arches 1.9m wide which are now infilled. The window on the left serves a lodge which probably dates to the 19th century. The architect Robert Mylne (1733-1814) may have advised on the design of the gateway.
