Kinross House, Category A listed country house in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.

The neoclassical residence built from sandstone stands near Lake Leven, featuring symmetrical proportions and classical architectural elements throughout its exterior design.

Sir William Bruce designed and constructed Kinross House in 1686 as his personal residence, establishing new standards for Scottish country house architecture.

The residence represents the introduction of neoclassical architecture in Scotland, marking the transition from Renaissance to classical design in the late 17th century.

The interior remains private as a family residence, but visitors can explore the geometrically designed gardens that surround the property throughout the year.

The house orientation creates a direct visual connection with the 14th-century Loch Leven Castle located on an island in the adjacent lake.
