Description
An account of the resource
<p>In 1815 General Keith Macalister began the construction of Torrisdale Castle. He employed the services of James Gillespie Graham, one of Scotland?s most famous architects.</p><p>In 1872 the castle was rented by local businessman Peter Hall, brother of James Macalister Hall of Killean and Tangy who gifted the Burnett Building to Campbeltown. Both brothers were business associates of Sir William Mackinnon of Balinakill, and helped found the British India Steam Navigation Company, which was eventually subsumed into the larger P&O.</p><p class="MsoNormal">William Macalister Hall, Peter?s son, purchased the estate and extended the castle in 1903 and 1908 respectively, utilising the services of architect Henry Clifford. The estate remains in the ownership of the Macalister Hall family.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">?</span></p>
