Argylls Lodging

About Argylls Lodging

Argyll’s Lodging is Scotland’s most splendid and complete example of a 17th century townhouse.

It was a residence of the Earl of Stirling and later the Earls of Argyll.

Situated on the upper approaches to Stirling Castle, its fine architecture marks it out as a property intended for a great nobleman serving the royal court.

Highlights of the lodging include; the Renaissance façade and main entrance which prepare the visitor for the 17th -century splendours within. These include the High Dining Room with its impressive and precious painted decoration, the Drawing Room with its grand fireplace, recreated tapestries and elaborate chair of state and My Lady’s Closet, where Lady Anna, Argyll’s second wife, would have spent much time.

For information on daily guided tours visit the Stirling Castle website.
