Scope and Content View of the court of offices at Kilmory Castle from the north-west, Argyll and Bute In 1816, Kilmory Castle, which had 18th-century origins, consisted of a rectangular house with a central wing. This was incorporated into a Tudor Gothic mansion built for Sir John Powlett Orde between 1828 and 1836, which was again extended in 1860-78. This is the entrance to the court of offices and courtyard. The original offices were built in 1816 and rebuilt in the 1830s, although the single-storeyed rubble-built buildings visible through the archway are of a later date. The entrance front has a gabled four-centred archway. Four-centred arches are composed of four arcs, two of which describe arcs from the springing point and two of which describe arcs below that level. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
