Scope and Content View of Hafton House from the north-east, Argyll and Bute Originally, Hafton House was a late 18th-century mansion known as Orchard Park. It was bought around 1816 by James Hunter who had it transformed into a Tudor Gothic mansion by the architect David Hamilton (1768-1843). Other changes were made in the 1840s. The present form of the house is due to Hunter's rebuilding, which included two new façades to the north and east. The asymmetrical north façade, to the right, is partially obscured by a later porte-cochère. The east front (left) is symmetrical. The house, which is situated on a low wooded promontory on the south shore of the Holy Loch, was praised for its situation and for its 'mixed modern Gothic style'.
