Dumfries House is a Palladian country house in Ayrshire, Scotland. It is located within a large estate, around two miles (3 km) west of Cumnock. Noted for being one of the few such houses with much of its original 18th-century furniture still present, including specially commissioned Thomas Chippendale pieces, the house and estate is now owned by and serves as the headquarters for The King's Foundation, a charity which maintains it as an educational centre, visitor attraction, and hospitality and wedding venue. Both the house and the gardens are listed as significant aspects of Scottish heritage.
