Scope and Content View of first-floor landing in 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 stair, which is of a scale-and-platt style, with a rectangular well, has moulded sandstone treads and curved iron balusters of square section with a mahogany handrail. The stair continues beyond the second floor to the garret, or attic. The landing at the first floor is wide and the door at the stair-head leads to the study. The doors at this first-floor level are of mahogany with a six-panelled design. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
