A beautiful 1700's town residence
Argyll's Lodging, the residence of the Earls of Argyll in Stirling, is the finest and most complete surviving example in Scotland of a 17th century town residence. Set back behind a screen wall on the upper approaches to Stirling Castle, its fine architecture marks it out as a town house intended for the household of a great nobleman serving the Royal Stewart Court within the Castle. The principal rooms within the lodging - including the Laigh Hall, Dining Room, Drawing Room and Bedchamber - have recently been restored and furnished as they would have been when the 9th Earl of Argyll lived there in 1680. The Earl was executed for treason in 1685. OPENING TIMES April - September: Daily: 9.30am - 6pm. October - March: Daily: 9.30am - 5pm.    |
