When the 5th Duke succeeded in 1771, the offices remained incomplete and the Duke invited William Mylne to submit plans for its completion. Mylne created a court of offices with a hint of an Italian Palladian villa. Set around a cobbled square, the corner pavilions were connected along the north and south sides by heavy stone arches (since filled in), and in front by a range of rooms with a centrally pedimented carriage entrance. The pavilions have high Venetian windows on the external sides, each with a six-paned window above and sloping roofs rising to a central chimney. Plans to enlarge the offices were drawn up by Joseph Bonomi in 1807 but were largely unimplemented. The poultry house on the north side of the square, was converted to house the Argyll Papers, the archives of the Campbell family, dukes of Argyll, in 2007. The flower room in the North West tower was converted for a research room in 2017. Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource c.1760 - 1773
