Kinloch House

Kinloch House is a large Scots baronial mansion that was originally built around 1700. It was encased and extended in 1859 by Charles Kinnear of Peddie & Kinnear for his brother. Further extensions were made in 1881, and alterations and interior work were completed by Sir Robert Lorimer between 1921 and 1923. The house features two and three storeys plus attics, with an asymmetrical front that highlights a crowstepped entrance tower. It is constructed of freestone with fine dressings and has slate roofs and sash windows.

The entrance tower has steep gables, tall chimneys, and a pediment above the attic window. There is elaborate moulded corbelling with a "crenellated" string course that rises over the second-floor window, and a projected doorpiece with a heraldic device cut into the lean-to roof. To the right of the entrance, a slender and featureless lift-tower has been added. The rest of the frontage on both sides features crowstepped gables, corner bartizans with slender conical roofs and weathervanes, an advanced bay on the right, and a corbelled oriel treatment on two floors to the left, situated between gabled bays (with a half-round below and a corbelled square above, topped with a sinuous Dutch roof and ball-finials). There is also a single-storey and attic double-gabled wing on the left, although the ground floor has been altered.
