Scope and Content View of entrance-hall and stair of 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 entrance doorway opens into the stone-slabbed stair hall. There is a scale-and-platt, or dog-leg staircase (a staircase which consists of two flights at right angles, with a half landing). It has moulded sandstone treads and curved iron balusters. The stair hall leads to an inner hall through a screen formed by two pairs of timber columns which have plaster capitals. The screen is probably of early 20th-century date, although it incorporates motifs found elsewhere in the house. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
