Scope and Content Argyll's Lodging, Castle Wynd, Stirling, from south-west This view from the south-west, taken in the late 1950s, shows the central, or east, range, part of the first phase of building. Note the Flemish-style strapwork decoration of the window-heads and the pediment of the porch. The dining room is on the first floor, and the gallery in the attic, both with ante-chambers to the right. 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.
