18th century. 2-storey ochre washed harl with margins,
windows grouped 1-1-1/1/1-1/1 S. front. Considerably
renovated internally. Of the additions made by J. Gillespie
Graham probably c. 1835 the N. wing remains, 2-storey
crowstepped with bay at N. gable and gothic 1st floor E.
windows with Elizabethan gablets above (contains fine
drawing (?) room with rich arched and ribbed ceiling) and
circular conical roofed N.W. tower remain; E. part
(probably greater part of Gillespie Graham's addition)
demolished before 1901.
James Gillespie married Miss Graham of Orchill c. 1815
and upon her succession assumed the additional surname of
Graham. The design of the ceiling is related to those at
Taymouth (1838-42). The old house was replaced by a very
ambitious baronial house by Heiton (1868-9) one of his
best designs, burnt World War I and reinstated.
