The Duke of Argyle - sign

The portrait resembles those of Field Marshall John Campbell, 2nd Duke of Argyll (as it is usually spelt elsewhere), 1st Duke of Greenwich, KG., who led the government army which defeated the Jacobites at Sheriffmuir in 1715. The building may be meant for his family seat, the first Inveraray Castle. The pub is still boarded up (see Image and Image) - Punch Taverns are attempting to let a 5-year lease.
