Kinneil House
Kinneil House is a historic house to the west of Bo'ness in east-central Scotland. It was once the principal seat of the Hamilton family in the east of Scotland. The house was saved from demolition in 1936 when 16th-century mural paintings were discovered, and it is now in the care of Historic Scotland. It sits within a public park, which also incorporates a section of the Roman Antonine Wall.
The house now consists of a symmetrical mansion built in 1677 on the remains of an earlier 16th- or 15th-century tower house, with two rows of gunloops for early cannon still visible. A smaller east wing, of the mid 16th century, contains the two painted rooms. The house is protected as a Category A listed building,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kinneil House, Listed Building Report )〕 and as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Monument known as Kinneil House )〕
==Early history==
The lands of Kinneil with Larbert and Auldcathy were given to Walter Fitz Gilbert, an ancestor of the Hamilton family by Robert the Bruce in 1323.〔HMC ''11th Report and Appendix part vi, Hamilton'', (1887), 3, 12-13.〕 A charter of 1474 mentions a castle at "Craig Lyown", and the saltpans which added to the estate income.〔HMC (1887), 19: ''Register of the Great Seal'', vol. ii (1882), no. 1177〕 The Castle of Lyon was nearer the sea at Snab Brae, and remembered by the name of Castleloan housing estate.〔Salmon, Thomas, James, ''Barrowstouness & district'', (1913), p.458, is mistaken in attributing the name to "Lyon of Glamis" of a later date. ("Loan", usually "lane", may here be derived from "Lyon.")〕
Parts of an older castle, which replaced the castle at the Snab may be incorporated in the present building. James Hamilton, 1st Earl of Arran died at Kinneil in 1529, but wished to be buried at Hamilton.〔HMC (1887), 52-3.〕
