Duchal House, Category A listed mansion in Kilmacolm, Scotland.

Duchal House features symmetrical facades, large windows, and intricate staircases that represent the architectural excellence of Georgian design from the 18th century.

The Porterfield family acquired the estate in 1544, with Alexander Porterfield constructing the present house in 1710 and Boyd Porterfield extending it eastward in 1768.

The mansion incorporates decorative moldings and craftsmanship elements that demonstrate the sophisticated architectural preferences of Scottish nobility during the Georgian period.

The property maintains protected status as a Category A listed building since 1971, requiring specific permissions for any modifications or renovations to preserve its character.

The grounds of Duchal House contain formal gardens established around 1750, which are registered in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.
