Prison Wall (Inveraray)
The Inveraray prison wall separates the prison in the Scottish town of Inveraray from the Loch Fyne inlet . As an architect, James Gillespie Graham planned the structure, which was completed in 1820. In 1966 the structure was included in the Scottish List of Monuments in the highest category A.
description
The structure consists of a mighty quarry stone wall, which extends directly on the coast of Loch Fyne down to the beach. The wall closes at the top with a band of massive stone slabs. It includes an inner courtyard at the rear of the listed courthouse in Inveraray , which also houses the prison. There are small rondelles at both corners of the sea . A broad, semicircular bulge emerges in the middle between these. The wall once closed off on both sides of the courthouse. After construction work, this is only the case on the north flank, while a building crosses the former course of the wall on the south side.
