Scope and Content Elevation of principal front of Gallanach House, 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). This drawing of the principal front of Gallanach House is slightly different from that which was actually built. It shows an asymmetrical front, whereas the existing front is symmetrical. However, angle-towers have been used with corbelled parapets. William Burn (1789-1870) initiated the Scottish Baronial style for Scottish country houses. His earliest commissions were for Grecian-style public buildings but by 1818 he was designing four country houses per year. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
