Ballochmyle House

Our team carried out stone restoration and pointing works to Ballochmyle House.

Ballochmyle was part of the barony of Kylesmure which King William the Lion granted in the year 1165 to the Cistercian monks of Melrose Abbey. By the sixteenth century Ballochmyle had become a separate estate. In 1760, a "new House very neatly fitted up and finished" possibly designed by the famous architect William Adam, replaced the old tower house. Further extensions to the main building were made during the succeeding years, including the front portion.

The architect of the front portion was H M Wardrop and the building was executed in red "Ballochmyle Stone" from the quarries in Mauchline. Wardrop was also the architect of the Station Hotel in Ayr which is built of the same stone. The extension of the house was finished in 1886. On the death of Sir Claud Alexander, the house was let from 1899 until 1937/38. In 1938, arrangements were made to sell the house and policies to the Department of Health for use as a hospital. Entry was tacitly permitted that year and the missives were finally completed in October 1939, a month after the outbreak of war.
