Auchinleck Mansion House, or The Place of
Auchinleck, as it was once known, was built by
Lord Auchinleck, James Boswell, in the late
1700s. The Scottish classical-style mansion was
designed by Robert Adam, one of Scotland's most
famous architects.
The death of Lord Auchinleck in 1782, saw
Auchinleck House remain in the Boswell family
until it passed through the female lines to the
Malahide family.
In the 1920's, Talbot de Malahide, the
great-great-grandson of James Boswell, who
built Auchinleck House, sold Auchinleck to
another Boswell, Lt. Col. John Douglas
Boswell.
The House has recently been acquired and
restored by The Landmark Trust. Auchinleck
House can now be booked for holidays through
The Landmark Trust
Website.
