Statement of Interest

Known as Killiemore on the 1850 Ordnance Survey map, the house changed its name to Kirkchrist House between 1894 and 1907 resuming the name Killiemore in the mid 1970's. The tower is clad in greenery which extends over the centre bays of the house. A water gauge indicating level of water in tank, can be found on rear gable wing.
