Scope and Content View of forestair and portico of Ardmaddy Castle, Argyll and Bute Ardmaddy Castle was originally a 15th-century tower-house which was transformed into a Palladian mansion for Colin Campbell in 1737. In 1862 David Bryce (1803-76) built a new wing using plans prepared in 1837 by James Gillespie Graham (1766-1855). The part of the house which was built in 1737 is U-shaped on plan. On the first floor of the principal front of the house there is an Ionic portico. Three-bayed, it has two free-standing columns and two columns which are engaged, or attached to the walls. Three of the columns are linked by a stone balustrade, and a forestair leads to the first floor. The columns support an entablature which consists of an architrave, a frieze and a cornice. The cornice returns to form a triangular pediment. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
