Kincaid House Hotel, Milton Of Campsie

Kincaid House Hotel, located in Milton Of Campsie, is a 2-storey castellated villa designed by David Hamilton in 1812, which incorporates earlier elements from around 1690 and the mid-18th century, along with a modern conservatory. The building features round corner towers and a square belvedere, constructed from droved ashlar stone. Notable architectural details include a battered base course, cill courses, billetted eaves course, and a castellated blocking course. The windows are architraved with stone mullions and hoodmoulds on the ground floor, and there are round-arched lights on the ground level. The main block, designed by Hamilton, measures 70 feet by 43 feet, with the towers breaking the wallhead.

On the east elevation, there are three bays with tripartite windows on each floor and corner towers featuring narrow lights. The central bay is taller and slightly advanced, flanked by pilasters and a bowed stone portico supported by slim reeded columns. The principal entrance includes a semicircular fanlight and side lights, with the belvedere at the rear center showcasing a large pointed arch opening with Y-traceried glazing.

The west elevation has a gabled projection at the center, which is part of the circa 1690 fabric, and a mid-18th century addition in the re-entrant angle to the north, featuring a piended roof and an external stair. There is a pointed arch window in the belvedere.

The north and south elevations each have two bays between the corner towers, with regular bipartite glazing. The south elevation has a window on the left that has been altered to serve as a door, and a low door off-center to the right, which is now obscured by a conservatory addition from around 1997.

The building predominantly features timber small-pane glazing in sash and case windows, and has a grey slate piended roof. Crenellated stacks are located at the center of the corner towers, as well as on the pilasters framing the entrance, at the gablehead to the north, and at the roof ridge to the northwest.

Inside, the hotel includes a vestibule with a glazed partition supported by fluted columns, and a spacious hall. A stone stair with bull-nosed treads rises in the northwest corner.

The property also features a walled garden, enclosed by tall squared rubble walls coped with ashlar on three sides, standing approximately 15 feet high, with the house forming part of the central wall.
