Ardlamont House

Ardlamont House is a Georgian estate house lying at the tip of the Cowal peninsula, 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) south of Kames, in Argyll, Scotland. The house was built c.1820 for Major General John Lamont, 19th of Lamont. It is designated as a Category B listed building by Historic Scotland. The two-storey house is harled. The main block has a piended (hipped) slate roof, while the single-storey wings have skew (sloping) gables.[1] A well-preserved obelisk sundial is located in the garden.[2]

The Ardlamont Estate was the location of the Ardlamont murder in 1893.[1]
