Dunlossit House, Port Askaig, Islay, Category C listed mansion in Port Askaig, Scotland.

Dunlossit House stands on an elevated position overlooking the Sound of Islay, featuring dark stone walls, pepperpot towers, and red sandstone dressings.

The mansion evolved from a shooting lodge in 1868 to its current form after a 1909 fire, when Donald Turner Martin orchestrated its reconstruction.

The estate maintains traditional farming practices across its 18,500 acres of land, supporting local employment and agricultural development in the region.

The property generates income through farming, forestry, stalking, fishing activities, and offers sections for holiday accommodation to visitors.

Three distinctive storeys with crowstepped gables and a four-storey tower characterize this Scottish baronial structure on the eastern coast of Islay.
