One of the finest examples of an 18th century Scottish country house, the importance of which is further enhanced by its association with James Boswell, author of The Life of Samuel Johnson. The house has been restored by the Landmark Trust and is let for holidays for up to 13 people. Full details of Auchinleck House and 189 other historic and architecturally important buildings are featured in the Landmark Trust Handbook (price £10 plus P&P refundable against booking) and on the website.
