This is a distant shot, from outwith the OS grid square in which the house is located. For a closer look at the building, see David Robertson's earlier picture: Image James MacNair, who was well known as a land improver and agriculturalist, purchased the Aucheneck estate in 1828. As well as improving the estate itself, he erected this mansion house. The Aucheneck estate was later purchased from Mr MacNair's trustees by John Wilson, who built a large addition to the house. Further information can be found in J G Smith's "Strathendrick and its Inhabitants from Early Times" (1896).
