Dumfries House

Historic Buildings & Homes
Cumnock
Ayrshire

Dumfries House is one of Britain’s most beautiful stately homes and best kept heritage secrets.

Admission to Dumfries House is by guided tour only. There is no charge for admission onto the Estate.

Saved by the intervention of HRH the Prince of Wales in 2007, Dumfries House combines the architecture of Robert Adam with the furniture of Thomas Chippendale and leading 18^th century Scottish cabinet makers. The house and original contents, which include nearly 10% of Chippendale’s surviving work, represent one of the most important documents of the Scottish Enlightenment. Recently having been fastidiously restored to its original splendour, the house is open to the public all year round. You can take one of our expert guided tours around the stunning interiors and savour the delights of this now resplendent 18^th century stately home.

The Dumfries House Estate retains much of the original 18^th century landscape design and is open to walkers daily from dawn to dusk. The Main Gates close for cars at 6pm. Visitors can explore the beautiful setting with ancient trees, the Adam Bridge, river walks, a doo’cot and the wildlife. Exciting modern developments are also in progress supporting the social, educational and economical aspirations of the Dumfries House project. Please check our website for more details.
