GLENAPP HOUSE.
THE estate of Glenapp, in the parish of Ballantrae, was acquired by the late Earl of Orkney about 1830, and he improved the place considerably by planting hardy trees on the waste lands. In 1864 he disposed of the estate to James Hunter, Esq., the present proprietor, for whom the mansion of Glenapp was built in 1870. The designs for this magnificent Scottish Baronial castle were prepared by the late David Bryce, R.S.A., and the work was completed under his superintendence shortly before his death. Mr Hunter has been a Deputy-Lieutenant of Ayrshire since 1868, and is otherwise connected with the county through his marriage with a member of the Houldsworth family.
