History
The house was built for General John Campbell, 17th of Strachur. He was succeeded by his sister, Janet, wife of Colin Campbell of Ederline.[1]
Lord George Granville Campbell (son of George Campbell, 8th Duke of Argyll; 25 December 1850 – 21 April 1915) and Lady Sybil Lascelles Alexander (d. 1 May 1947)[2] were subsequent owners of the house.[3]
Joan Campbell (5 August 1887 – 18 July 1960)[4] lived here in the early 20th century. Ian Anstruther was sent to stay with his mother's sister during his parents' divorce.[5]
Between 1957 and 2005, it was the home of Lady Veronica Maclean, who moved there with her husband, Sir Fitzroy Maclean, 1st Baronet. He died in 1996, aged 85.[6] It is now the home of their son, Charles Maclean.[7] Charles also inherited the Creggans Inn, located half a mile to the northwest from Strachur House, from his parents,[8] who purchased both it and the house in 1957. He sold it in 2008.[9]
