Kirkmichael House

Kirkmichael House is rebuilding, in a sort of Elizabethan style, from the design of Mr. Burns. There is a good kitchen-garden just completed, including a suitable gardener's house, and forcing-pits. The situation of this house has little to recommend it, in a country abounding with so much natural beauty; but highly improved design and high keeping will effect much; and, in a country where these qualities are less common than the beauties of nature, they will probably be valued more. [Editor's Note: Kirkmichael lies three miles east of Maybole]
