Walter Douglas Campbell, great-grandfather of the Duke of Argyll built a large house on Innis Chonain and St Conan's Tower in Lochawe as a winter home for the family. Walter was a self-made architect and delighted in building unusual properties, including St Conan’s Kirk, which is on the mainland nearby, an eccentric blend of church styles.
