A new season of tours has launched at Ayrshire’s much-loved Royal estate, Dumfries House, with a wave of new recruits and guides eager to welcome guests.
Nestled in the East Ayrshire countryside, the historic Palladian house retains much of its 18th century landscape design and furniture collection, featuring many works by Thomas Chippendale.
The house is open daily to the public from April with the hour-long House Tour and 90-minute Grand Tour running once a day.
These introduce visitors to the highlights of the house, walking guests through the rooms and telling the history of the building and its habitants.

Dumfries House is pleased to host to a range of artwork from the Royal Collection Trust, National Galleries of Scotland and the Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation available for viewing.
One of a trio of new guides, Fraser Murray, 62, from Kilmarnock has a personal connection to the estate as his oldest son was married on the grounds in 2016 and both his granddaughters had their naming ceremonies there.
“We’ve got a real big connection to the house,” he said.
“Just being able to tell people about the history will bring me great satisfaction. The house is something to be proud of.”
Fellow new guide Martin Pond, 62, who recently moved to Kilmarnock from Dorset, describes entering the Tapestry Room as one of his favourite parts of the house.

The show has also added some new cast members including “Line of Duty’s” Lucie Shorthouse, Brian Ferguson (“The Ipcress File”) and Stuart Bowman (“The Serpent”). They will join Richard Rankin (“Outlander”) as John Rebus, the much-loved character John Rebus from Ian Rankin’s bestselling novels. “Rebus” tells the story of a Scottish police detective who “finds himself at a psychological crossroads,” according to the logline. “At odds with a job increasingly driven by corporate technocrats, involved in a toxic affair he knows he needs to end, and all but supplanted in his daughter’s life by his ex-wife’s wealthy new husband, Rebus begins to wonder if he still has a role to play – either as a family man or a police officer.
