Dumfries House, Country house museum in Old Cumnock, Scotland.

The Palladian estate features Georgian architecture with extensive grounds, including an arboretum and ornamental pond across its landscaped terrain.

The construction of Dumfries House occurred between 1754 and 1759 under architects John and Robert Adam, commissioned by the 5th Earl of Dumfries.

The house contains a substantial collection of original 18th-century furniture, including numerous pieces created by Thomas Chippendale for the property.

Visitors can access the estate grounds from dawn until dusk, while guided tours of the house operate daily from April through October.

The property maintains ten percent of Thomas Chippendale's documented furniture pieces, representing the largest authenticated collection worldwide.
