Nisbet House, Category A listed tower house in Edrom, Scotland.

The four-storey structure with a seven-bay main block and two-bay tower features painted harling and sandstone construction, displaying ornate window designs throughout its facades.

Built around 1630 by Sir Alexander Nisbet, the house incorporated an earlier square pele tower at its eastern end before receiving a western tower addition in 1774.

The property includes an earth-covered mausoleum containing 17th and early 18th-century grave slabs belonging to the influential Carr family of Scottish nobility.

The house divides into separate sections including the main residence, garden, gardener's cottage, stable block, and coach house, each maintaining its original structural integrity.

The exterior walls contain functional gunloops, while the interior tower displays rococo plasterwork alongside vaulted service quarters from different construction periods.
