Scope and Content Argyll's Lodging, Castle Wynd, Stirling, from north-west This view from the north-west, taken in about 1880, shows the street frontage of the house. The section on the left and the part to the right of the crowstepped gable in the centre are the work of the 1st Marquess of Argyll. The design of the rusticated doorway is based on continental models. The building was used for many years as a military hospital in connection with the use of the castle as a military depot. In the 1960s it became a youth hostel, and after a period of disuse it was opened to visitors by Historic Scotland, with some of the interiors recreated. Argyll's Lodging is a large 17th-century mansion, partly built in about 1630 by Sir William Alexander of Menstrie, and bought in 1655 by the 1st Marquess of Argyll, who completed it in about 1674. It occupies three sides of a courtyard, the fourth side being closed by a wall with an arched doorway. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
