Kinross House

“At the west end of the lake, and the gardens reaching down to the very water’s edge, stands the most beautiful and regular piece of architecture, for a private gentleman’s seat, in all Scotland, perhaps in all Britain, I mean the house of Kinross.”

Extract from ' A Tour Thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain' Vol. 3 by Daniel Defoe. Pub. 1763.

Kinross House sits in beautiful parkland right in the centre of he town. It was built by Sir William Bruce, the renowned architect who worked on projects such as Holyrood House in Edinburgh. Kinross House, built in the 1660s was his swansong. It belonged to the Montgomery family for many generations but they eventually sold it to its current owner in 2011.
