Description

Blairquhan House is a mansion built in 1842 by Sir David Hunter Blair. It features a striking design in the Tudor Style, created by architect William Burn. Some lintels and sculptured stones from an earlier fortified building that once stood on the site have been incorporated into the kitchen courtyard.

Blairquhan House sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,480 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 97% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°C per decade since 1991.
