Kinnordy House, Category B listed building in Kirriemuir, United Kingdom.
The three-story country house features towers, turrets, and incorporates an 18th-century wing with stables near the town of Kirriemuir in Angus.
The first structure was built in the 1680s after Inverquharity Castle became vacant, with the current building dating from major renovations in 1881.
The residence served as the birthplace of renowned geologist Charles Lyell and maintained connections with naturalist Charles Darwin through their scientific correspondence.
The estate includes a museum, observatory, and walled garden containing historical elements such as a sundial and the Bell Gate.
A group known as the Nameless Highlanders constructed the parallelogram-shaped walled garden following the Jacobite rising of 1745.
