Pitcairn House, 17th-century laird's house in Glenrothes, Scotland.
The rectangular stone structure measures 16.5 meters by 6.8 meters, with the east gable reaching a height of 5.5 meters above ground level.
Built around 1650 by the Pitcairne family, the house remained inhabited until the late 18th century when records indicate its deterioration into ruins.
The residence exemplifies the architectural style of Scottish lesser gentry, featuring local whinstone construction with yellow sandstone quoins and multiple fireplaces.
The monument sits on a flat, grassed area at 120 meters elevation, with interpretation boards providing information about its historical significance.
Archaeological excavations revealed a Charles I coin beneath the floor and ceramics from the late 17th century, indicating the domestic life patterns.
