Dalmoak House, Category A listed villa in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland.
Dalmoak House is a Victorian villa in West Dunbartonshire with a U-shaped plan, five bays, Tudor Gothic elements, and crenellated parapets built from solid stone across multiple floors. The former stable block has been converted into residential units while the main building awaits significant restoration work.
The house was built between 1866 and 1869 for James Aitken after his father John initiated the project as a potential wedding gift. The property later served as a care home, reflecting changing uses across the decades.
The central stairway displays three round arched stained glass panels with mythological figures, where the middle section shows the Red Hand of Ulster.
The main building requires caution as substantial restoration is ongoing and may limit visitor access. It is wise to check ahead about current conditions and what parts of the property might be open for viewing.
The house contains one of the largest stained glass window installations in a private Scottish residence, created by craftsmen WG and JJ Kier. This remarkable artistic work spans the stairway and stands as a testament to Victorian craftsmanship.
