Old photograph of Dankeith House by Symington in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The Cunninghames obtained the lands here in 1614 and they held the property until the 1690s, when William Kelso acquired it. In 1839 Lieutenant Colonel William Kelso was the owner of Dankeith. The Factor's house of the Dankeith Estate was Craigowan House in Brewlands Road. Dankeith House itself was built in 1893, incorporating an earlier building. The estate had a fine range of hothouses. In May 1857 Dankeith was rented by Janet Story, wife of Dr Story.
