Mountquhanie House

Mountquhanie House is a large country house, built around 1820 for David Gillespie by James Gillespie (Graham). The main block comprises a two-storey basement and attic. The south front is constructed of ashlar stone and features six windows. The central two bays project forward with a prominent, single-storey Roman Doric portico supported by four columns, topped with a fanlight above the doorway. A cornice runs along the top of the building, and a plain parapet is present, with fluting in the centre. The north front is of rubble construction with stone margins and has three windows; the central bays are advanced and topped with a pediment.

The interior is simple but possesses distinctive detailing. A large entrance hall features a screen of simulated scagliola columns in the Roman Doric style, beyond which is an imperial staircase.

The house was built following earlier, unrealised plans: a design signed "SC" for a similar-sized house, and an elevation drawn by James Craig in 1770, which proposed improvements to an early 18th-century house. None of the earlier building appears to survive.
