Leslie House
Leslie House in Leslie, Fife is the largest and earliest Restoration house in Fife, Scotland. Several of the buildings are listed. Sir Robert Spencer Nairn acquired the house in 1919 and in 1952, donated it to the Church of Scotland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/details/909114 )〕 A 2009 fire severely damaged the building.
==History==
It was built for the Duke of Rothes between 1667 and 1674 and this became the seat of the Rothes family. The house which was dubbed ''Villa De Rothes'' was the centre of life in the village and once rivalled Holyrood Palace for both size and glamour. A 1667 extension was by a design of William Bruce.〔Wemyss, Charles (2005) "Merchant and Citizen of Rotterdam: The Early Career of Sir William Bruce". Architectural Heritage Vol. XVI〕 When a fire destroyed the building in 1763, the north, east and south wings were demolished. Only the west wing was retained and this was reconstructed between 1745 and 1747. From 1904 to 1919 Leslie House was the home of Noëlle, Countess of Rothes, a noted philanthropist who became famous as a heroine of the ''Titanic'' disaster in 1912. During World War I Lady Rothes converted a wing of Leslie House into a hospital for wounded soldiers invalided from the Front.〔(A Matter of Course : The Story of Noelle Rothes, Titanic's "Plucky Little Countess" by Randy Bryan Bigham )〕 Leslie House was again severely damaged by fire in February 2009. Restoration of the building, as well as plans to create 17 luxury homes from the renovated property, are currently underway.
