Carronbank
Carronbank is a villa in the Scottish town of Stonehaven in the Council Area of Aberdeenshire . In 1972 the building was included in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A.
history
The design of the villa is attributed to the Scottish architect John Smith . It was completed in 1836 and is one of the oldest in the planned settlement. It is possible that Carronbank originally had a U-shaped floor plan. At least it is known that the building has been redesigned several times over the years on a small scale. Around 1900 Euphemia Bannerman , sister of the future Prime Minister Henry Campbell-Bannerman , lived in Carronbank. In 1923 the solicitor J. B. Cunningham lived in the villa.
