Strachur House Bridge
This ornamental bridge was built around 1783.
Strachur House was built in 1770 by General John Campbell, 17th Chief of the MacArthur Campbells of Strachur. More recently it was bought by Sir Fitzroy & Lady Veronica MacLean in 1957 & their son, Sir Charles, currently lives there with his family.

Ballimore House
In the early 18th century, the property was owned by the Campbells of Otter and around 1832 Mungo Nutter Campbell (more about him at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mungo_Campbell ) commissioned David Hamilton to build Ballimore House. It was the seat of Campbell MacPherson Campbell in 1885. In 1899 it was bought by Major MacRae Gilstrap who engaged William Leiper to extend and enlarge it. A year later Thomas Mawson laid out the formal ‘Italian’ garden. The property has passed down the generations to Major Gilstrap’s granddaughter, Mrs Van Lynden who, after many years of neglect, has renovated the house. Not much sign of life today though.
