Rossie Priory


Rossie Priory is a country house and estate to the north of Inchture, near the hamlets of Baledgarno and Knapp, Perthshire, Scotland. It lies by road west of the city centre of Dundee.
Rossie Priory was designed by the architect William Atkinson in Regency Gothic Style. It was built as a house in 1817 for Charles Kinnaird, 8th Lord Kinnaird and is the seat of the Kinnaird family. The large estate is roughly 2000 acres.
An early calotype photographic studio was established here for George Kinnaird, 9th Lord Kinnaird with the assistance of Thomas Rodger in around 1850.
The estate contains a notable collection of art, but some paintings owned by Rembrandt and Guido Reni were sold off in the 1980s.
