Location of Monreith House in Dumfries and Galloway
Monreith House is a category A listed Georgian mansion located 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) east of the village of Port William in Mochrum parish in the historical county of Wigtownshire in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.[1] The classical-style house was designed by Alexander Stevens in 1791, for Sir William Maxwell, 4th Baronet.[1] The new house replaced the now-ruined Myrton Castle on the estate which was partially dismantled to provide stone for the house. The grounds of the house are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant gardens, and are classed as "outstanding" in five out of six categories.[2]
