Broughton House, Category A listed townhouse in Kirkcudbright, Scotland
The two-story Broughton House stands on High Street with large windows, period furnishings, and traditional Scottish architectural elements throughout its rooms.
Built in 1734 as two separate houses, Alexander Murray of Broughton purchased and merged the structures into one residence in 1740.
The house contains a library of 25,000 books and manuscripts focusing on Scottish literature, plus an extensive collection of E.A. Hornel's paintings.
The National Trust for Scotland maintains the property, offering guided tours through the house, art gallery, and gardens from April through October.
The gardens stretch over two acres toward the River Dee, incorporating Japanese elements and native plants arranged in distinct seasonal sections.
