Kerelaw House
Kerelaw House was part of the former Kerelaw Estate situated on the west coast of Ayrshire, Scotland, near the town of Stevenston.
== History ==
The house was built in the neo-Palladian style〔Davis, p. 292.〕 in 1787 by Lieut.-Col. Alexander Hamilton (a relative of the American statesman of the same name).〔''Kerelaw House'', from ''The Kilmarnock Standard'', 5 April 1924〕〔Chapter 7 - General Alexander Hamilton, ''First Treasurer, U.S.A.'' p. 54 - 56.〕 Hamilton died in 1837 without issue and left considerable debts.〔 Captain John Brown inherited and was forced to sell the mansion house to Gavin Fullarton, Esq., a retired West Indies merchant, in 1838 along with the rest of the Kerelaw Estate including Kerelaw Castle.〔 The Fullarton family were a cadet branch of the ancient family of the Fullartons of Kirkmichael, in Arran, who held their charter from the days of Robert the Bruce. The family were hereditary Crowners (Coroners) in the island of Arran. Their family motto was ''Lux in tenebris.'', ''The light shineth in darkness.'' 〔Paterson,〕
In 1919 the house was bought by James Campbell, WS.〔McSherry,〕 Campbell and his family (including his son Kenneth Campbell VC) were the last family to live at Kerelaw; in 1969 the house was bought by Glasgow Corporation Education Department and Kerelaw Residential School was opened in its grounds in 1970.〔 The house was intended to be used as offices for the school, but was instead demolished.〔
