Broughton House is a hidden treasure on the banks of the River Dee near Kirkcudbright and was the home and studio of the artist E.A Hornel.
This magnificent 18th century town house was bought in 1901 by Hornel, one of the celebrated group of painters known as 'The Glasgow Boys'. Taking inspiration from such French Naturalist painters as Bastien-Lepage and also from Whistler, the Glasgow Boys produced some of the most revolutionary painting in Britain, drawing praise in London, Munich, Vienna and further afield.
Today, Broughton House is owned and managed by the National Trust for Scotland. Inside is a fantastic collection of art, ceramics, furniture and literature. Hornel was influenced by his time in Japan and so there is a stunning Japanese-style garden which offers a tranquil haven.
