Kinneil House

Kinneil House is a historic house near Bo'ness in east-central Scotland, built as a symmetrical 1677 mansion on the remains of an earlier 15th–16th century tower house. The mid-16th-century east wing contains significant painted interiors and some earlier defensive features such as wide-mouthed gunloops. The property is in the care of Historic Environment Scotland and stands within a public park that also contains remains of the Antonine Wall.

As it stood in 1677

The shape it held in its prime.

A symmetrical rectangular stone mansion of the 1677 rebuild with a flat balustraded parapet and a central, regular façade punctured by vertical rows of tall sash windows, flanked by projecting end pavilions and stone stair pavilions. The ashlar walls sit on the older tower core whose lower courses show two rows of wide-mouthed gunloops for early cannon. A straight gravel drive runs between paired stone gate piers onto a broad lawn, with stone chimneys and steep slate roofs breaking the skyline.
