Auchinleck House, Ayrshire, Scotland, UK 20 May 2011. Auchinleck House is an 18th-century mansion in Scotland. It is situated near the town of Auchinleck near Cumnock and Ayr in East Ayrshire. The Auchinleck Estate has been inhabited since the 13th century, and the remains of Auchinleck Castle and Auchinleck Old House stand in the estate. Perhaps the finest example of an eighteenth century country villa to survive in Scotland, this was the family home of James Boswell, the famous 18th century diarist and biographer of Samuel Johnson.
