Craigenputtock, Category B listed farmhouse in Dunscore, Scotland.
The two-storey Georgian country house stands on an 800-acre estate with moorland rising to 1,000 feet and cultivated agricultural fields.
The Welsh family owned this property for generations until Jane Baillie Welsh Carlyle inherited it, leading to Thomas Carlyle's residency from 1828 to 1834.
Thomas Carlyle wrote his notable work Sartor Resartus during his seven-year stay at Craigenputtock before moving to London.
Located seventeen miles from Dumfries, the farmhouse maintains a guestbook in the lobby for visitors documenting their visits to this historical site.
Edinburgh University received the estate through Thomas Carlyle's bequest in 1881, and the Carter-Campbell family now manages it with the Carlyle Craigenputtock Circle.
