Scope and Content View of octagonal dairy at Taynish House from the south-west, Argyll and Bute Taynish was the seat of the Macnortheill family from the 15th to the 18th century. In 1780 the estate was acquired by Sir Archibald Campbell of Inverneill and his descendants owned it until 1929. This Gothic building, dating to the early 19th century, was built as a dairy and later converted to a gunroom with bedrooms on the first floor. It is two-storeyed and in the shape of an octagon, with an opening on every face of the ground floor. Dummy fanlights above the door and ground-floor windows are constructed of tracery mounted on wooden boards. The first-floor windows are glazed but reflect the intersecting tracery in their glazing bars. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
