The top floor of the tower, the east wing and the north study/chapel were added circa 1860. The stone-built house is L-shaped in plan, with the three storey tower to the left of the centre.

Clargill Hall has a tower in the peel form; the greater part of the
building dates from 1678-9. The tower was heightened in the nineteenth century. (2-3)

Clargyll Hall (4)

From outward appearances the tower is a likely peel, but this could not be verified without internal access, which was not
available. It forms the central block of the Hall, the latter as
described. See photograph. (5)
