Cally Palace, Country house in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
Description
Cally Palace is a country house built from granite with red sandstone window details and two symmetrical pavilions connected to the main structure by curved wings. The building now functions as a hotel with 56 rooms, a swimming pool, a gym, and dining facilities.
History
The estate was completed in 1763 after James Murray of Broughton commissioned architect Robert Mylne following a meeting in Rome. It stands as an example of late 18th-century Scottish architecture.
Culture
The entrance hall displays marble surfaces and Greek Doric columns that reflect 18th-century Scottish noble tastes. These elements shape the first impression when entering the building today.

The grounds are expansive and include a golf course alongside the ornamental Cally Lake. Visitors can find both structured activities and open spaces for walking and exploring.
Did you know?
The surrounding parkland contains rare trees such as Douglas firs, tulip trees, and monkey puzzle trees alongside the lake. These exotic specimens make the grounds botanically notable.
