Scope and Content View of Glenshellish House from the east, Argyll and Bute In 1826 the estate of Glenshellish was acquired by David northapier, a pioneer of steam navigation on the Clyde, who established a steamer service on Loch Eck. The house was probably built at this time and, from 1850 onwards, was occupied by farming tenants. The two-storeyed house has a three-bayed north front and curving side wings which enclose a U-shaped cobbled courtyard behind the house. The house is built of rubble, now whitewashed, and the windows have sandstone surrounds, now painted black. The windows and door are surmounted with Tudor-style label-moulds. Above the central bay is a pediment with an oculus, or circular opening. It is known here as a blind oculus as it does not have an opening. The roof is hipped and slated.
