Gribloch, Kippen, Stirling, Scotland, Highlands, Architect, Date, Location

Gribloch House : Information

Scottish Basil Spence Building



Date 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.
