The following plans (1790-1852) by George Buchanan show the Shirvane estate (or parts of it?) which appears to be in two separate parcels of land to the North and East, and South of Lochgilphead. (https://maps.nls.uk/view/216586834).
The Plan that appears to relate to Shirvan is (https://maps.nls.uk/view/216586840). This shows Ballimenach as the most westerly property on the Laigh Park area of the plan, but there is no reference to Shirvan at this date.
Castleton House is shown on the 1st ed. 1843 OS 6" map of the area, but by the time the 2nd ed. of the 6" map was revised in 1898 and published in 1899, Castleton House appears to have been renamed Shirvan.

If you Google "Shirvan Lochgilphead" a raft of information appears about the area.
