Scope and Content Aerial view of Hafton House, Argyll and Bute Originally, Hafton House was a late 18th-century mansion known as Orchard Park. It was bought around 1816 by James Hunter who had it transformed into a Tudor Gothic mansion by the architect David Hamilton (1768-1843). Other changes were made in the 1840s. Hafton House is situated on a low wooded promontory on the south shore of the Holy Loch. A terraced garden extends southwards from the house, and there is a large walled garden situated 200m south of the house, which has 1804 carved above the entrance. David Hamilton practised in Glasgow from the 1790s. By 1809 he was interested in Gothic and Neo-Greek styles. By 1822 he was interested in Graeco-Roman styles and by 1830, with his son James, he was experimenting with Scots Jacobean style. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
