Highland Manse, Kirk Street, Campbeltown

The Highland Manse garage, built in 1835 for David Hamilton of Glasgow, is a two-storey, three-bay structure with flanking single-storey screen walls and a garage to the southeast. It is roughcast with painted ashlar margins, featuring a stepped base course and eaves course, with raised margins emphasizing corners, windows, and doorways.

The southwest-facing (Kirk Street) elevation is symmetrical, with a projecting wing to the right. A pilastered doorpiece, topped with a Tuscan columned porch and entablature, sits centrally at the head of stone steps. The windows have stop-chamfered outer margins and cornices at ground floor. A band course runs along the elevation, with cornices returned at the ends, and a blocking course raised and coped over the bays. Flanking coped single-storey walls include a door opening in the northwest wall and a blind window in the southeast wall (formerly the kitchen wing). A rendered link wall connects to the garage, with an infill window.

The northwest elevation presents a blank gable with a small window at first floor level. The southeast elevation also has a blank gable, with a modern lean-to porch at ground floor. The northeast-facing rear elevation displays a near-symmetrical design, featuring a stair window in the centre bay and two closely spaced windows at the first floor bay to the left.

Original twelve-pane timber sash and case windows remain at first floor, with an eighteen-pane stair window on the rear elevation. Modern glazing is present elsewhere. The main entrance features a timber door with a modern board covering, topped by a four-pane fanlight. Vertically-boarded timber doors are on the flanking walls. The roof is grey slate, with a piended and bell-cast end to the garage. Piend-roofed, slate-hung dormers with eight-pane timber sash and case windows are situated on the rear pitch of the main roof. Cast-iron gutters and downpipes are incorporated. Two prominent stacks rise from the gables, one with five flues at the northwest gable and the other with six flues at the southeast gable, both featuring distinctive cans.

Internally, the entrance vestibule has a tiled floor, and a stone stair has cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail. Other original features include six-panel doors and panelled shutters.

The garage has a rectangular plan with base and eaves courses and margins. It has a modern garage opening on the southwest front.

Boundary walls consist of a droved ashlar dwarf wall (originally with railings), terminated by droved, square gatepiers with pyramidal caps, featuring a crescent decoration on each face. Matching gatepiers mark the main entrance, with modern wrought-iron gates. Random rubble boundary walls enclose the garden to the northwest and northeast sides.
