Description
Built in 1513 for the merchant James Tait, ‘Loudoun Hall’ is Ayr’s oldest surviving house and one of Scotland’s finest examples of early urban architecture with elegant stonework, vaulted cellars, and a grand upper hall.
Positioned near the old harbour, the Hall once stood at the centre of Ayr’s commercial life. In later years, ‘Loudoun Hall’ became home to the Sheriff of Ayrshire and was a hub for governance and international trade, and as the town expanded and modernised, ‘Loudoun Hall’ remained a symbol of resilience from its origin as a medieval port to a modern community.
‘Loudoun Hall’ was rescued in the 1940s, carefully restored and reopened as a cultural venue and civic space with further upgrades in the 1990s and 2020s ensuring the town centre building remains both historic and functional.
‘Loudoun Hall’ is a category A listed monument, that has been restored over its three floors to form a well-presented meeting and events space, comprising of the following accommodation:
· Ground Floor: Hallway with central staircase, a caretaker’s room, a toilet and two vaulted stores
