The present form of the house dates back to 1843, although the earlier towers adjoin the newer additions.

The house is home to the Findlay Family whose ancestry includes William Wallace.

It was built by the Wallace Family and in 1750 was referred to as ‘Cairnhill’ on General Roy's map of 1750.

Colonel John Ferrier Hamilton later made considerable improvements to the Estate and in 1843 he commissioned William Burn to build a new house.

[1] The keep adjoining the house dates from the 15th century; it rises to three storeys and a garret, which has a parapet corbelled-out.
