Friars Carse, Category B listed building near River Nith, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
The mansion features a round tower with a rectangular second stage and stands within 18 hectares of parkland along the River Nith.
Originally constructed around an earlier house in 1873, the building underwent extensions between 1905 and 1909 by architects Barbour and Bowie.
Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, wrote several works in the Hermitage, a small rectangular structure from 1785 within the estate grounds.
The property operates as a hotel since 1938, offering 21 rooms with en-suite facilities, a paneled entrance hall, and a snooker room.
The site housed a monastery established by Melrose monks in the 13th century, leading to its current name Friars Carse.
