Moncrieffe House, Category B listed mansion in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
Moncrieffe House is a neo-Georgian mansion with seven bays arranged over two stories, located near the base of Moncreiffe Hill in Perth and Kinross. The building incorporates an original doorpiece salvaged from the prior structure that stood on the same site.
The original house was built in 1679 by architect Sir William Bruce and survived until a fire destroyed it in 1957. The present building was constructed in 1962 following neo-Georgian architectural principles.
The estate contains ancient Pictish artifacts and a stone circle that were relocated within the grounds, representing centuries of Scottish heritage.
The house sits near the M90 motorway and is accessible by local roads leading through the surrounding landscape. The driveway approach was modified in the 1980s when major road construction altered the immediate area.
During World War II, the estate served as headquarters for the Polish I Corps operating under Scottish Command, connecting the property to a major military campaign. This wartime role remains one of the property's most significant historical chapters.
