Site Management (22 August 1990)

Roofless shell of a classical mansion of the 1820s, extended in 1924 by John M. Arthur though gutted by fire in 1937. The house occupies the remote east side of the Hillend Reservoir.

The Auchengray estate was purchased by Robert Haldane in 1809, who drained and planted the land, building the house shortly after. After his death around 1850 the estate was sold to Patrick Rankine whose family produced two provosts of Airdrie. (M,Dean & M.Miers)
