Broughton House, 10 High Street, Kirkcudbright, is a five-bay Georgian townhouse that in 1901 became the home to the artist Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864-1933). Hornel added the adjacent smaller house to the West (12 High Street) and then employed his friend John Keppie to add a new picture gallery and studio. He also later bought 8 High Street to the east and created a garden over the three feus.
The Broughton House Trust sold 8 High Street some years ago whilst Broughton House has gone on to become a National Trust for Scotland visitor attraction boasting a collection of art, ceramics, furniture and literature.
