Old Photograph Kilmory Castle Scotland
Old photograph of Kilmory Castle, also known as Kilmory House, located just to the south of Lochgilphead, Argyll, Scotland. A house may have stood here as early as the 14th century. The Campbells built a house, or extended the existing one, between 1816 and 1820. Eliza Campbell, the eldest daughter and co-heir of Peter Campbell, married Sir John Orde, 2nd Baronet in 1824. He purchased the estates following the death of his father in law in 1828 and of his wife in 1829. Orde demolished the modest old Campbell house and replaced it with the grand Gothic style mansion designed by architect Joseph Gordon Davis.
