St Conan's Tower

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St Conan's Tower is a 19th century granite-built country house, near Lochawe in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.

Designed and built by Walter Douglas Campbell, great-grandfather of the Duke of Argyll, St Conan's Tower was intended as a winter home for the family.[1] The granite for the house was quarried from Ben Cruachan, the mountain behind it.[1] The house has been used variously since its sale by the Douglas Campbell family in 1924 as a family home, a youth hostel, a bed and breakfast establishment, and currently as holiday apartments.
