The Argyllshire Herald and Campbeltown Courier disagree as to whether it was Robert or James Weir who designed this terrace. It is likely that both were involved through the connection of Robert Weir & Son with the Campbeltown Building Company which was set up in 1877 to relieve a housing shortage in the town. This is an interesting row of workers? housing with nearly all traditional details surviving intact.
