Auchentorlie house started as a grande home for the Buchanan family and finished as a hospital it was a specialist unit for the care of poor mothers sick children and foundlings
it was a kind of reception centre for the examination of poor and sick children who were then sent on to other orphanages around the area
Auchentolie house was knocked down and replaced with a beautiful home for the Thompson family who now own the land and have done so since the mid 20th Century at least... The remaining parts of the house are the ruins of a Laundry that sits next to Auchentolrlie dam, which is where the servants used to visit to do daily tasks
My family live on the land now, so it was strange to find your entry xxxxxxxxx
