Scope and Content View of staircase in Kilmory Castle from the north-west, Argyll and Bute In 1816, Kilmory Castle, which had 18th-century origins, consisted of a rectangular house with a central wing. This was incorporated into a Tudor Gothic mansion built for Sir John Powlett Orde between 1828 and 1836, which was again extended in 1860-78. This open-well timber stair in the octagonal staircase hall was described by Sir John Orde as 'much admired'. The stair climbs on a curving outer string on the left side of the stairs, to the floors above. The string is the part of the stair which carries the ends of the treads and the risers. The balustrades and the central, or newel, posts are carved with grape and cartouche motifs, an example of Italian workmanship. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
