History:
The ancestral home of Clan Dunlop has stood on this site for over 800 years and the current house was built for Sir James Dunlop by the distinguished Glasgow architect David Hamilton in 1834.
The house was built in the Scottish-Jacobean style with very detailed gables and dormers, boasting a very dramatic and asymmetrical front elevation, “laced with strapwork”. This style was individualistic and makes the current Dunlop House truly unique in architecture. Dunlop House is an essay in the Jacobean manner and was one of Hamilton's favourites. The design began as an addition to an older house, but eventually the latter was almost completely demolished. The property remained in the Dunlop family for almost 600 years until the last direct descendant of the first laird, Dunlop of Dunlop, passed away. It then passed through a succession of private owners before becoming the headquarters of a multi-national company.
Although it eventually fell into disuse it was listed as a Category A building by Historic Scotland, and in 2014 Laurel Homes began the task of restoring the house and estate to its original splendour and creating only 9 individually designed apartments.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
