Kinpurnie Castle, Category B listed stately home in Newtyle, Scotland
Description
Kinpurnie Castle is a stately home built in Scottish baronial style, featuring oak paneling and ornamental plasterwork created by the Bromsgrove Guild. The building combines these decorative elements with a solid stone structure typical of estates from this period and region.
History
Shipping magnate Sir Charles Cayzer acquired the estate in 1907 and commissioned its construction from the Earl of Wharncliffe's trustees. The building reflects the link between maritime commerce wealth and refined rural residence culture of that era.
Culture
The drawing room features a notable chimneypiece that was relocated from Ralston House, showing the style of early 20th-century Scottish interior design.
Practical
The location sits west of Dundee in the Angus region and is accessible for those exploring the architectural heritage of this part of Scotland. The surrounding countryside offers quiet views, and visitors should consider weather conditions when planning to see the stonework and building details clearly.
