Auchinleck House
Ayrshire
Please note that Auchinleck House will be open outside of the Doors Open Days weekend.
Open once a year to the public, explore Auchinleck House on Saturday 31 August - Sunday 1 September 2024!
Restored and looked after by The Landmark Trust, Auchinleck House is set in its own extensive grounds with fields, woodland and riverbanks, just waiting for you to explore them. The goal of most walks here is to find the ice-house and grotto. The nearby village of Ochiltree, with its charming main street of single storey cottages, is one of the oldest in East Ayrshire.
Auchinleck House was built between 1755 and 1760 by Alexander Boswell, 8th Laird of Auchinleck and the father of James Boswell, the celebrated diarist and biographer of Samuel Johnson.
Admission is free, information on the building's history and children's activity sheets will be available on the day.
Families and dogs welcome.
