Kinross House is a late 17th-century country house overlooking Loch Leven, near Kinross in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Construction of the house was begun in 1686, by the architect Sir William Bruce as his own home. It is regarded as one of his finest works, and was called by Daniel Defoe "the most beautiful and regular piece of Architecture in Scotland". In 2010, it was sold to Donald Fothergill, an English businessman, who thoroughly refurbished the house. Fothergill and his family now live in the house. The property is home to two full-time house staff and four full-time gardeners.
