Medieval town house
Loudoun Hall
A merchant's house from around 1513, one of the earliest late medieval town houses left in Scotland.
Hidden gem
James Tait, a wealthy burgess of Ayr, built Loudoun Hall around 1513. It began with three vaulted rooms on the ground floor, a large hall above and an attic.
Between 1528 and 1539 it was sold to Sir Hugh Campbell of Loudoun, Sheriff of Ayr, who added a wing to the north. The Saltire Society restored the house, including two garderobes that hang off the outside walls and are reached by wooden galleries.
It is now hired out for weddings and private events.
