Scope and Content Castlemilk House, Dumfriesshire Castlemilk House, completed in 1870, was designed by David Bryce in a Scots Baronial style, a style which evoked Scotland's past. It was built for Robert Jardine, a partner in the firm of Jardine Matheson, founders of the British colony of Hong Kong. Castlemilk is dominated by a large four-storeyed tower, in front of which there is a porte-cochère which has stepped buttresses at the corners, decorated with dogs' heads. The house is built from buff-coloured stone from Cowdens Quarry in the Borders. Castlemilk is probably the largest and most lavish of Bryce's baronial houses. Like all his domestic work, it displayed the solid craftsmanship and provided the domestic comforts of mid-Victorian Scotland. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
