description
The conservative lower house deputies Euan Wallace inherited the lands of Kildonan under the conditions that he built his residence there. Wallace's wife Barbara Lutyens is the daughter of the architect Edwin Lutyens , who did not design Kildonan House. The Scottish architect James Miller was responsible for this, but he was based on Lutyen's style.
The large-scale Kildonan House was completed in 1923. It is based on the English manor house architecture of past centuries. The building houses an auditorium and a tennis court. In 2009, Kildonan House was added to the Register of Endangered Listed Buildings in Scotland. However, its condition was last classified as good with low risk in 2012.
