Scope and Content Rear elevation of Broughton House, Nos 10-12 High Street, Kirkcudbright, Dumfries & Galloway, from north-west This photograph shows the rear of the house, and part of the garden that was established by Hornel and his sister. The extension at the left of the photograph is the studio, dating from around 1910. The large, full-height bow was built in the early 19th century. The large windows commanded fine views over the River Dee. The studio, and a gallery, were designed by the architect John Keppie (1862-1945) for Hornel. The gallery was restored in 1992 after a fire, and contains an exhibition of Hornel's works. Broughton House was built in the mid-18th century, on the site of an earlier house. It was built as the town house for the Murrays of Broughton. In 1895, the house was purchased by the artist Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864-1933). The house is now run by The National Trust for Scotland as a museum and art gallery, and is open to the public. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
