Kinnoull Terrace is a street in the Kinnoull parish of Perth, Scotland. A cul-de-sac, it contains five properties (four villas and one double villa), each of which is of listed status and dating from the 19th century. The street was specifically designed, in the mid-19th century, to take advantage of its viewpoint across the River Tay, as was the case with the six villas in Bridgend, a few hundred yards to the north. Noted architectural historian Charles McKean observed that those with "money of the [19th] century jostled for prime sites and views on Dundee Road and Kinnoull Terrace". [1]
Several notable architects were used to design the properties, including Andrew Heiton and David Smart. [2]
The three properties on the western side of the street each have gates in the communal boundary wall that runs along a stretch of the Dundee Road to the west; [2] however, the one for Langlands (formerly Murrayville), the northernmost of the three, has been filled in.
Several of the properties appear on maps of Perth from the 1860s. [3]
Another, smaller property on the street was formerly the offices of John McLaren [9] and Philip Russell Diplock, [10] architects and planning consultants. Known as "the Den", it is Category C listed. [11]
The architect of the double villa Craigievar and Darnick was Andrew Heiton, [12] who also lived at the property upon its completion in 1870. [7] It remained in the Heiton family until 1927, when Andrew Granger Heiton's widow, Catherine, sold it. [13] David Smart designed Witchhill House, which was completed around 1860. [6] [14]
