Overview
A small castle and estate named Lefnoreis or Lochnorris was built on the site of the current house and belonged to the Craufords of Loudon (c.1100-1600's). The estate was bought by William Crichton, 2nd Earl of Dumfries (1598-1691) in 1635.
It was the 5th Earl who decided to build a new home on the site and employed the Adam brothers (Robert, John, and James) to design the structure. The house today combines neoclassical architecture with the furniture of Thomas Chippendale.
Sitting within a 2000 acre estate the house is nestled between Auchinleck Burn (to the North), Nest Burn (to the East), and Pollack Burn (to the West).

Architecture
Dumfries House is an 18th century Paladian style country house designed by architects Robert and John Adam. Originally commissioned to their father William Adam (1689-1748), the sons took up the challenge after their father died.
Interior Highlights
Entrance Hall
Resembling the interior design of the Palladio's villas in Veneto, Italy, the hall shows off the status of the 5th Earl of Dumfries with its hand painted cartouches and the coat of arms of the Earls of Dumfries on the ceiling and rich furniture appointments, all which make a statement that someone of importance lives here.
Great Steward's Dining Room
The main dining room of the house used for social functions in the old days still serves the same function today. The house today is available for meetings and weddings.
Lord Dumfries' Study
Originally ‘My Lord’s Dressing Room’, the study would have also been a place of rest and was furnished with a single bed.
It became a classic room for the 5th Earl to work in which contains Chippendale furniture and of course his picture on the wall.
Pink Dining Room
This room is the best preserved room of the house from the original build. Pink accents bring out its richness in the decorative ceiling as well as the Wedgewood China and Italian pink Murano glass chandelier.
Blue Drawing Room
An elegant Georgian sitting room beautifully appointed with original Chippendale chairs purchased by the 5th Earl along with Samuel Smith mirrors, and George Mercer tables.
A blue hand-woven damask silk upholstered sofa and chairs are located on each side of the fireplace as well as large paintings on the wall by Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) of the 6th Earl and his family.
Family Bedroom
An stately bedroom with its blue Chippendale four poster bed and framed scene over the fireplace.
The room may have originally contained elaborate and expensive furnishings and used as a reception room for the lady of the house.
Parlor
Originally used as a dining room in the 1800's it was converted to the parlor used by family to relax and features yellow silk damask on the Chippendale chairs, sofa and curtains possibly.
Pewter Corridor
A unique part of the house, this corridor is part of architect Robert Weir Schultz (1860-1951) 19th century west wing extension. It links the extension to the main eighteenth-century section next to the Blue Drawing Room. The corridor took its name from a family collection of pewter displayed there in the twentieth century.
Inspired by Byzantine architecture, the corridor consists of eight square compartments, each with a circular dome above and connected by semi-circular arches.
In the 2010 restoration, the original poly-chrome colour scheme was carried out by Mark Nevin (1987-XXXX) of the firm Nevin of Edinburgh who was just twenty-three years old at the time of his involvement.
Picture Gallery
This rectangular passageway with its rich green walls and upholstered Chippendale and Alexander Peter chairs, features a large amount of paintings loaned from both the Stuart of Bute collection and the Fleming Wyfold Art Foundation, as well as some by Teniers and Van de Velde paintings that the 3rd Earl of Bute acquired during his lifetime and would likely have come from his home 'Luton Hoo' in Bedfordshire, England which he bought in 1763.
Tapestry Room
The Tapestry Room was formed as part of the 19th century west wing extension by architect Robert Weir-Schultz.
Commissioned by the 3rd Marquess of Bute, the room was designed to house four early-eighteenth-century Flemish tapestries acquired by the 5th Earl of Dumfries. The room was completed by the 4th Marquess, eight years after his father’s death in October 1900.
The room is paneled with cedar wood, as a natural moth deterrent, helping to keep the tapestries free from damage.
Points of Interest - Estate
Arboretum
Linking the 18th-century Robert Adam designed Avenue Bridge and the Walled Garden is the Arboretum.
This 10 acre site was re-created from an overgrown area of spruces and poplars, as well as non-native trees to a magnificent collection of trees of 500 different varieties along with a range of shrubs and woodland flowers by horticulturist Brian Corr.
To the East of the site are two newly created lochans (small lochs), which are a haven for a wide range of wildlife.
Avenue Bridge (aka Adam Bridge)
Location: North Entrance - Off the B7036 (Barony Road) near the A76 on a road called 'The Avenue'. West of Auchileck town centre.
South Entrance - Off the A70 at the Dumfries House Lodge. West of Cumnock town centre.
Designed by the Adam brothers, the triple arch elliptical bridge was created to provide the first look to visitors as they approached the house. The bridge was built in the late 1700's but has been repaired and restored in the 19th and 20th centuries as well.
Chinese Bridge c.2017
Location: West of the Avenue Bridge
Designed originally by Scottish architect Robert Weir Schultz in 1899 for the 3rd Marquis of Bute but never built, this unusual (new) bridge by architect Keith Ross for the Duke of Rothesay came to fruition by CTS Bridges Company of England. The North and South supports were hand built by masons and the prefabricated steel bridge pieces brought in and placed by crane.
The original concept called for red accent colour but today's version features green colour instead.
Dovecoat (aka Doocot) c.1671
Built to attract and store pidgeon's for the winter month. It was likely built by the 2nd Earl in the late 1600's, since he took possession in 1635.
The origin date (1671) is carved above the doorway which also features a heraldic carving likely of the McDouall's. This is interesting because that name did not enter into the family until the mid 1700's which may suggest that the shield was added at a later time possibly by the 6th Earl, Patrick McDouall-Crichton.
Dumfries House Lodge c.1750
Location: Main estate entrance off the A70 roadway.
A 5 star Country Guest House offering luxury accommodation available for public stays in the main guest house or self catering cottages. It was originally used by the family for many years.
Lady's Well c.1759; Rebuilt 2019
The main water well for the estate dating back to Lochnorris, this well served the family for many years. It was blown up by soliders who were stationed on the estate during World War II but has been rebuilt in newer times by a team of skilled apprentices in a 16-month-long project who also built its overhead stone structure to its original design.
Maze c.2016
Location: South-East of Adam Bridge
Almost 2000 6ft-high trees were planted during its construction.
The maze, which includes obelisks and a Japanese pagoda was created by by Fife-based landscape designer Michael Innes, and its paths stretch to over half a mile.
Temple Gate
The original gate house plan was shelved from the start when the adjacent land owner denied usage rights through his property and thus fell into severe decay over the centuries.
It was restored as an estate feature during the restoration in the 21st century.
Queen Elizabeth Walled Garden
In many ways this is the flagship project of the Dumfries House Estate restoration. The five-acre walled garden is one of the biggest in Scotland and features a unique 12-metre drop from north to south.
Memorials
Crucifix c.1900
Location: East of Dumfries House
The crucifix, made of marble by Nathaniel Hubert John Westlake (1833–1921) was erected in memory of John Patrick Crichton-Stuart (1847-1900) the 3rd Marquess of Bute and 8th Earl of Dumfries upon his death.
The memorial was restored by the Hirst Conservation Ltd., Laughton Hall Farmhouse, Laughton, Sleaford, Lincolnshire, England in 2016.
