Kirkland House, Kirkcowan

Kirkland House in Kirkcowan is a former manse built around 1800, featuring two storeys and an attic, with later alterations from the 19th century. The building has a symmetrical three-bay front and a two-storey rear wing, creating a T-shaped layout. It is constructed of painted rubble with painted raised margins.

The main front includes a central lean-to porch made of painted rubble and glass, likely added in the late 19th century. There is a tripartite window in the center, a bipartite window to the left, and a door to the right. All windows are single light, sash and case style, with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The building has end skews, tall coped end stacks, and good graded slate roofs with sandstone ridges. The later 19th century features include a pair of gabled dormers with brackets and 8-pane glazing. The two-storey rear wing has a single-storey lean-to on the east side, which is partly harled and partly made of painted rubble, along with enlarged glazed doors on the north side and a moulded cornice.
