Innergellie House
Innergellie House is a mansion in the Scottish village of Kilrenny in the Council Area Fife . In 1972 the building was included as an individual monument in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A.
history
In 1642 James Lumsden received the Innergellie estate as a fief. It is very likely that he had a mansion already located there developed in 1650. Today's Innergellie House, however, dates from 1740. A coat of arms above the entrance with the monograms SIL (Sir James Lumsden) and DCR (Dame Christian Rutherford) as well as the year 1650 still reminds of the previous building. The monograms can still be found on a gate WD and MB in connection with the year 1619.
