Stichill House was designed by the architect James Maitland Wardrop, and was built in 1866 for a member of the Baird family, the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire coal and iron masters. The main feature of the house was the entrance tower, which was over 30m high, allowing an excellent view of the surrounding landscape.
The massive three-storeyed house was built in French Renaissance style, which was popular in the late nineteenth century, though the domestic wing was of Scots seventeenth-century character.
Although the house was demolished in the mid-twentieth century, estate buildings, including the home farm and a dovecot, survive.
