Bannockburn House

Bannockburn House is a two-story stone building from the mid-17th century with crafted architectural details and traditional Scottish construction methods. The interior contains well-preserved rooms with original ceilings, fireplaces, and doorways from that era.

The house was built around 1675 and served as an important private residence in the region. It gained historical importance through an episode during the political upheaval of 18th-century Scotland.

The rooms display how Scottish families of the 17th century furnished and decorated their homes, with period pieces and textiles still arranged as they were used. Walking through the spaces shows the preferences and daily habits of the people who lived there.

Access is typically available only at certain times and is managed by a local community group. Visitors should plan ahead and expect variable opening hours if they want to see the interior spaces.

The house holds records from coal mining operations of the 18th century that show how the region became an industrial center. These documents reveal economic development of the Bannockburn area beyond its better-known political history.
