Details Mansion house built on site of earlier manor. Pitlurg House, also known as House of Leask, is a 2-storey mansion house designed by Archibald Simpson in 1828. It comprises of a main block and lower service wing, which were destroyed by fire in 1927, and is recorded as a roofless ruin in 1989. Dressings of basal and stringcourses are very fine. Five-bay main elevation with central door and extravagantly tall ground-floor windows. Appears to have undergone a programme of restoration sometime in the 1990s / 2000s, and is now back in residential use. The remains of the walled garden lie to the north and a designed landscape around it is visible on the OS 1st edition map but only traces of this survive.
