Scope and Content View of Gallanach House from north, Argyll and Bute Gallanach House was erected for Dugald MacDougall of Gallanach in 1814-17 to a design of William Burn (1789-1870). In 1903 the offices were remodelled and a residential wing added to the rear of the main block by Sir John Burnet (1857-1938). The original house is a symmetrical block of two main storeys above a basement, in a castellated style. This main front incorporates an advanced centrepiece surmounted by square turrets. There are circular towers on all four corners. William Burn initiated the Scottish Baronial style for Scottish country houses. His earliest commissions were Grecian-style public buildings, but by 1818 he was designing four country houses per year. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
