Thorntoun house and estate
Thorntoun School was opened by Barnardo's in September 1971 for children with emotional difficulties aged 11 to 16 years. The school closed in 1990 and Thorntoun is now a Nursing Home. The complex lies between the villages of Springside (North Ayrshire) and Crosshouse, Kilmarnock in East Ayrshire, Scotland. The old Thorntoun mansion house was demolished in the late 1940s, leaving the West Lodge, some of the home farm outbuildings, the stables and the walled garden as 'memorials' to the ancient history of the site. Many fine trees remain from the estate policies and the surviving gardens are very well maintained (2007). An entrance with a slight deviation from the old course has been created to serve the large modern buildings which house the nursing home.
==The History of Thorntoun house and estate==
In 1823 the historian Robertson〔Robertson, George (1823). ''A Genealogical Account of the Principal Families in Ayrshire''. Pub. A. Constable, Irvine.〕 describes ''"Thornton" as being "situated about half way betwixt Irvine and Kilmarnock: the manor or place (palace) is an elegant modern mansion, set down on the brow of a considerable height, overlooking, from amid its fine old timber and more recent plantings, a great expanse of rich country."''
In 1866 James Paterson, another historian, brought up locally, gives 'Thorntoun' as ''"This property, situated to the west of Busbie (Knockentiber), is about in extent. It belonged, of old, according to Wood, to one of the branches of the Montgomerie family."''〔Paterson, James (1866). ''History of the Counties of Ayr and Wigton''. V.III. – Cunninghame. Pub. J. Stillie. Edinburgh.〕
