NOTES:
Datingtrom 1811, Woodlands sits with in its own grounds .Its simple 3-bay room was
altered later in the century with the addition of a bay window, porch and the advanced
bipartite window. When it was built, it would have been situated on the Southern edge of
Stewarton and on the first edition Ordnance Survey Map of 1854 it is shown with a large
garden to the South East.
Known particularly of the bonnet making since the 16th century, Stewart’s wealth was
derived primarily from its mills,which developed from the beginning of the 19th century.
Woodlands may have been built ror one of the mill owners and is situated close too the
larger villas of the town, including Kersland House and Braehead House (see separate
listings).
