The present mansion was built by John Inglis of Lanarkshire , who bought the property in 1702. Alsoendinny House was completed in 1707. The Scottish architect William Bruce could be responsible for the planning . This emerges from the records of the writer Henry Mackenzie , who lived in the house between 1795 and 1807.
