Pallinsburn

Pallinsburn is a country house built in the late 18th century or early 19th century, with extensions added in the mid-19th century. The main block was remodeled in 1912 for Charles Mitchell, and the top storey was removed with internal redecoration around 1933. The building features brick in Flemish bond, much of which is old and reportedly of Dutch origin. The wings have roofs made of Scottish slate, while the main block has a flat concrete roof hidden behind parapets. The house is designed in a Jacobean style and consists of two storeys with a slightly irregular seven-bay center flanked by projecting two-storey, six-bay wings.

The central block has an upper floor that is set back, with two-bay loggias on either side supported by Tuscan columns. The central entrance features a round-headed doorway with a three-light mullioned overlight, surrounded by a moulded alternating-block surround. To the right, there is a six-light mullioned-and-transomed window, and to the left, two cross windows. On the first floor, a large central canted bay window with two transoms is present, along with three-light mullioned-and-transomed windows topped with segmental pediments. The ground and first floors are adorned with balustraded parapets, and tall corniced stacks rise from the roof. The wings contain 12-pane sash windows set in architraves, and the roofs are hipped.

Inside, the dining room features a barrel-vaulted Tudor-style plaster ceiling with intersecting ribs framing panels that depict reliefs of wild animals. The room also includes re-used Jacobean panelling with Ionic pilasters and a frieze decorated with strapwork. A re-used 17th-century fireplace with a moulded surround and jewel stops is present, above which is a plaster inscription that reads: "BELLO CONTRA TEUTONES FINIT CAROLVS MITCHELL ATQUE UXOR ETUS SPES RIVVLO PAVLINI RURSUS ACCESSERVENT." The oak room showcases re-used 16th-century panelling, partly in linenfold and partly featuring medallion heads, along with a plaster ceiling. The library has a ceiling with curved ribs forming ogee-headed panels adorned with thistles, and a frieze in Baroque style featuring cherubs and festoons. The hall includes a screen of three Tuscan columns with acanthus necking, while the octagon room contains a fireplace by Bossi and re-used early 18th-century niche and panelling, along with similar decorative elements throughout.
