It is the seat of the Swintons of Kimmerghame, a branch of the Lowland Clan Swinton. The house was designed in the Scottish Baronial style by David Bryce in 1851.[1] Kimmerghame is protected as a category B listed building[2] and the grounds are included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.[3] HistoryKimmerghame was the site of an earlier house, the home of Sir Andrew Home in the 1730s. An inventory of the house and its furnishing survives from this period.[4] This older house was demolished and rebuilt in the early 1850s. William Burn had produced designs for a new house in 1825, although nothing was done at the time.[2] The present house is dated 1851, and was designed by David Bryce. It incorporates interior panelling from the earlier house.[2] Kimmerghame was partially destroyed by fire in 1938, and subsequently only partly rebuilt.[5] The present occupant is Major-General Sir John Swinton KCVO OBE, former Lord Lieutenant of Berwickshire,[6] and father of the actress Tilda Swinton.[7] GallerySee also
