Built in 1622, it has the form of two sides of a rectangle, with turrets at its five external angles. William Bruce, second son of Sir Alexander Bruce of Airth, in 1611 obtained from his father a charter of the lands of Stenhouse. He was created a baronet in 1629; and his seventh descendant, Sir William Cuningham Bruce, ninth Bart. (b. 1825; suc. 1862), holds 780 acres in the shire, valued at £2050 per annum.—Ord. Sur., sh. 31, 1867.
