Cumbernauld House - West Pavilions
Cumbernauld House was completed in 1731 and was designed by William Adam.
The house was built on the site of the 14th century Cumbernauld Castle which was destroyed by Oliver Cromwell’s troops in 1651. The main building consists of the main rectangular block of which two pavilions are attached to the west side. These pavilions were originally separated by an archway that lead to a rear courtyard, this archway has since been blocked up. Originally William Adam intended to build two identical pavilions on both sides of the main building; however the pavilions to the east side of the main building where never built.
