Description
The Stewartry Museum, located on St Mary Street in Kirkcudbright, was purpose-built in 1892 by Robert Wallace. This museum is designed in the Scottish Baronial style and constructed from snecked and squared granite, featuring red sandstone dressings. The main gallery includes a central projecting two-storey castellated porch, with square-headed windows on the ground floor and blind panels adorned with crests above. The building is accentuated by corbelled angle turrets and crowstepped gables. To the left of the main structure is a lower two-storey custodian's house, which also displays crowstepped gables on each face.
