NOTES: This distinctive, well-detailed, classical house has fine external features and is an excellent example of a late 18th century gentleman's house. The classical symmetrical proportions are typical of Scottish laird's houses in the late 18th century and the addition of the Nepus gable adds to the grandeur and interest of the front facade. The deep space above the upper storey windows identifies the attic space, which is lit, in typical fashion, by small gable windows. The addition of the side wings, forming a V-plan to the rear of the property turned the house into a typical Ayrshire farm plan. The house was built originally for a Lt Col T L Donaldson who had connections with the Royal Artillery and army and whose initials are seen on the door lintel of the RHS wing. It appears on the 1775 Armstrong Map as Whitlaw. The house was then extended for the family in 1862 with the offices wings. The property was in bad state of repair in the 1980s and was comprehensively restored. List description updated as part of <strong>Stewarton</strong> resurvey, 2009. 99
