Auchendinny House


Auchendinny House dates from the early 18th century, being the last (and smallest) example of work by Sir William Bruce.

Completed by 1707, it is thought to have been built on the site of an earlier castle, the western part of the basement containing two vaulted rooms which seem to date to the 16th or 17th century.
