(NS 5072 2301) Auchinleck House: This mansion is attributed to Robert Adam; it was probably built about 1760. Of ashlar, the central block is two storeys high, supporting pavilions topped by ornamental towers, detached from the house itself but connected by curved screen walls.

SDD List 1963

As described. The house has been empty for about 20 years and is in a neglected condition. The owner (Mr J A D Boswell, Auchinleck Estate) states that there is no evidence as to its being designed by Adam, but there are long term plans to fully restore the building.

Visited by OS (JRL) 14 October 1981

NS 507 230 Work in 1999 included structural assessment of the four flanking pavilions; assessment of over 600 fragments of interior woodwork and reconstruction of the scheme of internal panelling, etc., including much of Boswell's library; and a programme of investigation of the evidence for the painted interior schemes.
