Statement of Interest

Carrongrove House is a well designed villa particularly distinguished by its fine carved stonework and ornamental detailing externally, and the joinery work on the interior. It is a notable example of Heiton's work, built for the manager of the mill, Andrew Duncan, who died a year after its completion; it was originally named 'Glencarron' but is shown on the 2nd edition OS map as 'Carronglen'. The house's present location within the mill complex

differs from its original situation in a landscaped garden with lodge and pond as shown on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map; its compact form and orientation were therefore determined by choice and not by a restricted vistas. Carrongrove Mill opened in 1818 as an expansion from an earlier mill upstream at Herbertshire (Stoneywood Mill). After diversification and repeated efforts to meet a changing market, the mill has since stopped production and faces closure, 2006. Heiton specialised in such domestic work; he had trained with his father and benefited from a spell in the office of Burn and Bryce. A later villa by Heiton, Fernhall, Broughty Ferry, 1865 (now demolished), is thought to have been similar in design (Walker).
