Gribloch House : Information
Scottish Basil Spence BuildingDate built: 1938-39 Architect: Sir Basil Spence (1907-76) Highland Country House designed for John Colville, a Glasgow steel magnate. Gribloch is located 1km south west of Kippen near Stirling and forms a Y-shape in plan as was fashionable at the time for country houses - for example many of Edwin Lutyens' houses. Although the house has white-rendered walls and flat roofs in true Modernist style, its interior flirts with Scottish vernacular and English Regency details. |
