Castle House is situated in the Scottish town of Dunoon, Argyll and Bute. It sits on top of a promontory called Castle Hill, between West Bay and East Bay, overlooking Dunoon Pier and the Firth of Clyde. It was built in 1822, and designed by David Hamilton. It is a Category B listed structure.[1]
The house was built for James Ewing of Strathleven. Ewing was a merchant and slave owner and was described by biographer Stephen Mullen as "among the most financially successful of [Glasgow's] élite nineteenth-century sugar/slavery aristocracy". He used the profits from his business and used the profits to establish buy property across London.[2] It was designed by architect David Hamilton who also designed Castle Toward and Hutchesons' Hospital.[3]
Dunoon Town Council purchased the house, for £4,600,[4] in 1893 and used it to house the Council Chamber and Tulloch Free Library.[1]
The flag post on Castle Hill marks the original site of a 13th-century Dunoon Castle.[5]
Current use
The building has been home to Castle House Museum since 1998. It is run by Dunoon & Cowal Heritage Trust.[5]
