Monreith House, Category A listed mansion in Port William, Great Britain
Monreith House stands as a five-bay three-storey Palladian mansion with a galleried entrance hall, double drawing room, and library on the garden front.
The mansion replaced Myrton Castle between 1790 and 1794, using stones from the original 16th-century structure under architect Alexander Stevens' direction.
The property maintains connections to author Gavin Maxwell through his brother Sir Aymer Maxwell, who owned the house during the mid-twentieth century.
The upper floors now function as holiday accommodation, while the principal rooms on the ground floor preserve their original architectural features.
The estate featured on Channel 4's Country House Rescue in 2010, documenting its transformation from near-abandonment to renewed preservation efforts.
