Strachur House

Strachur House is a three-story country residence built from coursed rubble stone, standing near the eastern shore of Loch Fyne with symmetrical wings added in 1815. The building combines the original structure with later additions, forming a residential complex with associated service buildings.

General John Campbell of Strachur commissioned this house around 1770, replacing an earlier building called Strachur Park near Succothmore. The symmetrical wings were added over four decades later, reflecting changes in the family's taste and needs.

The dining room displays original Chinese wallpaper from the 18th century, showing how international design influenced Scottish homes during this period. Such decorations were popular with wealthy families who valued exotic and refined furnishings.

The property sits along the A815 near Strachur House Farm and provides parking in the farm square. Visitors should verify the exact location before visiting, as access runs through the farm entrance.

The estate features a decorative bridge separating the main house from a large service court area. This service complex takes up remarkably more space and is actually bigger than the residential house itself.
