"Jacobean manor of 1839–44, designed by William Burn for Onesiphorus Tyndall-Bruce, whose wife had inherited the Falkland estate from her uncle. In 1887 it was bought by the third Marquess of Bute, who, between 1890 and his death in 1900, employed R. W. Schultz to transform the interior from a display of early Victorian opulence to one of Late Victorian ideosyncrasy.[2]
"This mansion sits on a plateau between Maspie and Mill Burns with the Lomond Hills as a backdrop. It is a good example of Burn's expertise in domestic planning presented in English Jacobean with a sprinking of Scottish detail. ... The Late Victorian interior, particularly the chimneypieces and plasterwork designed by R W Shcult, is impressive."[3]
