Scope and Content General view of west front of Ardanaiseig House, Argyll and Bute Ardanaiseig, a mansion formerly known as northew Inverawe, was built for James Archibald Campbell, a descendant of the Campbell family of Inverawe. Ardanaiseig was designed by William Burn (1789-1870) and his original drawings of the house are dated 1833. The west front is asymmetrical and elaborate with many crowstepped gables, a turret, projecting chimney-breasts, dormer windows, and to the right, false slit windows. Also to the right is the Jacobean-style main entrance doorway. William Burn of Edinburgh 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.
