Leith Hall has been the home of the head of the Leith family since 1650 when the oldest part of the house, the north wing, was built by James Leith of New Leslie on the site of an older property, Peill Castle. Anciently it was defended by a strong wall, having a turret at each angle, enclosing an area of two acres. The south, east and west wings were added in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was presented to the National Trust in 1945.
