The former residence of James Hamilton, 8th Earl of Abercorn, designed by Sir William Chambers and built between 1763 and 1768. The estate, which was sold by Archibald, Duke of Argyle in 1745, was rapidly improved in keeping with the spirit of the age. It has been conjectured that the park may have been laid out by Capability Brown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hamilton,_8th_Earl_of_Abercorn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_of_Abercorn
