Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Kenmure House

Kenmure House, a plain two-storied mansion in Barony parish, NW Lanarkshire, 1 mile NNW of Bishopbriggs station. In 1806 Charles Stirling purchased the lands of Kenmure, adjoining his elder brother's estate of Cawder or Cadder, and built the greater part of the existing mansion, which he sold, with the estate, in 1816 for £40,000 to that same brother, Archibald. Kenmure was thus the birthplace of the latter's son, Sir William Stirling-Maxwell (1818-78). See Keir.
