Luffness House
The present Luffness House has at its core a much earlier structure, Luffness Castle – possibly as early as the 13th century, but certainly dating back to the early 16th century at the very least.
Luffness Castle was sacked in 1548 and rebuilt as a T-plan tower house in 1584. A large beehive doocot survives from the late 16th century.
Several major additions were made in the 18th and 19th centuries, with Scots Baronial details.
