Ilay was greatly interested in horticulture and the cultivation of exotic plants and his first years at Whitton were devoted to this pastime: when he visited he apparently at first stayed in a gardener's cottage on the estate.
Following Argyll's death in 1761 his nephew, the Earl of Bute, arranged for the transfer of some specimen trees from Whitton to Kew where he was advising the dowager Princess of Wales on the layout of her garden.

Since that time, the Earl's enemies having prevailed with the Queen, who besides was exasperated against him for the contempt he showed for her beauty, which, through age, began to decay, she caused him to be impeached.
The Earl finding himself in the last extremity, applied to Admiral Howard's lady, who was his relation, and desired her, by a person whom she could trust, to return the ring into the Queen's own hands.
The history of the ring bearing the arms of England, Scotland and Ireland, (and which is said to have been produced in evidence at the trial of the unfortunate Mary as a proof of her pretensions to the crown of England,) is curious.
