    Green Tourism Award - Silver

    • Research facility - 25,000 literary collection relating to Dumfries & Galloway
    • Worlds 4th largest Burns collection
    • Home of EA Hornel - a "Glasgow Boy" and renowned Scottish Colourist

    Behind the fine 18th century town house with its pink lime washed exterior lies a treasure trove of collections together with a magically secret garden. A little known treasure of a fine town house and garden nestling on the banks of the River Dee in Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway. Broughton House was the home of artist E A Hornel. Behind the pink limewashed walls a delightfully uplifting collection of art, ceramics, furniture and literature together with a magically secret garden lie hidden. This fine 18th century town house, bought by Hornel in 1901 became his home and studio. A recent recipient of the 2006 RICS conservation award following a two-year conservation project – today, you too, may find the inspiration that makes Broughton House and indeed Kirkcudbright the artists town we know today.

    House and Garden: 21 Mar to 30 Jun, Thur–Mon 12–5; 1 Jul to 31 Aug, daily 12–5; 1 Sep to 31 Oct, Thur–Mon 12–5.
