Lochnell, an estate, with a mansion, in Ardchattan parish, Argyllshire. The mansion, at the head of Ardmucknish Bay, 12 miles WNW of Taynuilt, was built by Sir Duncan Campbell, and enlarged, at a cost of more than £15, 000, by his successor, General Camp bell. A spacious and handsome edifice, it was destroyed by fire about 1859; and an observatory, in the form of a tower, was reduced to a mere shell by fire in 1850, but continues to figure conspicuously in the view from the neighbouring waters. The present proprietor, Archibald Argyll Lochnell Campbell, Esq. (b. 1849; suc. 1882), holds 39, 000 acres in the shire, valued at £6801 per annum.—Ord. Sur., sh. 45, 1876.
