history
Brantwoode was built by J. Alexander . As an architect, William Leiper , who also designed other villas in Helensburgh, was responsible for the planning. The work was completed in 1895. Changes to the use of space were made in the 1930s. Among other things, new connections between rooms were created and a bedroom was converted into a bathroom. Overall, however, the building that is preserved today largely corresponds to its original condition.
