About House of Dun
House of Dun is an exquisite Georgian mansion, designed and built by William Adam in 1730 for David Erskine, 13th Laird of Dun.
 
Highlights include its saloon with elaborate ornate plasterwork by Joseph Enzer, and 800 acres of grounds. Dog owners will have hours of fun on the estate's woodland walk, while some of the more curious features of the house include its model theatre room and unusual 19th century 'boot-bath' in Mrs Erskine's bedroom.
