Scope and Content Detail of skewputt on Ardpatrick House, Argyll and Bute Ardpatrick had been the seat of the MacAlisters of Loup throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. The existing house was built in 1769 for Angus MacAlister by the master-mason John Menelaws and his brother Thomas, from Greenock. Skews are the sloping or shaped stones which finish a gable which is upstanding above the roof. A skewputt is the carved bracket below a skew. At Ardpatrick House, the skews are of ashlar with a spiral skewputt. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
