Description
Tour in Kilmaurs is a two-storey mansion rebuilt around 1841 by Robert Parker Adam, a former merchant from Glasgow. Designed in a castle style, the building is of moderate size and constructed from ashlar. It features sash windows with square-headed drip-moulds that extend horizontally as moulded bands. The entrance facade faces south and has a symmetrical arrangement of two windows on each side of a central projecting two-storey porch, which includes a gothic doorway and octagonal corner turrets. At the rear, there is a courtyard accessible through an arched opening, and the office wall is capped by a crow-stepped garden house, which was once used as a dovecote.
