History:

The ancestral home of Clan Dunlop has stood on this site for over 800 years and the current house was built for Sir James Dunlop by the distinguished Glasgow architect David Hamilton in 1834.

The house was built in the Scottish-Jacobean style with very detailed gables and dormers, boasting a very dramatic and asymmetrical front elevation, “laced with strapwork”. This style was individualistic and makes the current Dunlop House truly unique in architecture. Dunlop House is an essay in the Jacobean manner and was one of Hamilton's favourites. The design began as an addition to an older house, but eventually the latter was almost completely demolished. The property remained in the Dunlop family for almost 600 years until the last direct descendant of the first laird, Dunlop of Dunlop, passed away. It then passed through a succession of private owners before becoming the headquarters of a multi-national company.

Although it eventually fell into disuse it was listed as a Category A building by Historic Scotland, and in 2014 Laurel Homes began the task of restoring the house and estate to its original splendour and creating only 9 individually designed apartments.
