Originally built in 1696 by the Duke of Argyll, Old Kilmun House was once home to James Duncan (founder of Benmore Botanic Garden) in the nineteenth century. It was most recently owned by the Younger family. In 2019, it was acquired by Ross and Katy who intend to continue Old Kilmun House’s legacy as one of Scotland’s most cherished family homes and Rosanna Yoga is so excited to be running a retreat there!
