Panmure House

[1][2] Panmure House was designed by the king's master mason John Mylne, although he died in 1667, before it was completed.

[3] On Mylne's death, the work was continued by Alexander Nisbet, an Edinburgh mason, and the interior was fitted out by James Bain, the king's wright.

In 1852–1855, the house was extended on the instigation of Fox Maule, by the architect David Bryce in the Scottish Baronial style.

In what has been called "one of the greatest acts of officially-sanctioned vandalism of its type in Scotland",[1] Panmure House was requisitioned by the army in the Second World War and heavily vandalised, it was then deliberately fired[5] and its remnants demolished in December 1955.

[1] The actor Alan Cumming, grew up on the Panmure Estate, where his father was head forester.

The floor that was in the house was a broken jointed system which provided for a better finish than the other methods at this time.
