Shewalton House and estate history

---

The lands of Shewalton had been held by the Fullartons of that Ilk and by 1545 they were home to the Wallace family. The Earl of Glasgow later purchased the estate. The tower castle became ruinous and uninhabitable, but stood until the new house was built in 1806.

Shewalton House

Colonel John Boyle in 1806 had the mansion house built to a Georgian design, backing onto the River Irvine . The building had a partly subterranean ground floor with two floors above and a rather unusual attic space .

The Lairds of Shewalton

Lambert Wallace in 1473 held the lands under John de Fullarton of that Ilk and the family were in possession of the lands until 1715 . Edward Wallace sold Shewalton, Marress near Irvine, and Waxford to William Boyle in 1715.

Kenneths

Shewalton House was the property of Archibald Kenneth and Sons, Dreghorn, who owned the nearby Montgomeryfield and other coal pits in Ayrshire .
