Broughton House, Kirkcudbright

Broughton House is an 18th-century town house standing on the High Street of Kirkcudbright, Scotland. It was the home of Scots impressionist artist E. A. Hornel between 1901 and his death in 1933. During this time Hornel remodelled the house and created the Japanese-influenced gardens. Since 1997 it has been in the care of the National Trust for Scotland, and is maintained as "a living museum of Hornel’s life and work".[1] The house is a category A listed building,[2] and the gardens are included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.[3]
