==History==
Kimmerghame was the site of an earlier house, the home of Sir Andrew Home in the 1730s. An inventory of the house and its furnishing survives from this period. This older house was demolished and rebuilt in the early 1850s. William Burn had produced designs for a new house in 1825, although nothing was done at the time.〔 The present house is dated 1851, and was designed by David Bryce. It incorporates interior panelling from the earlier house.〔
Kimmerghame was partially destroyed by fire in 1938, and subsequently only partly rebuilt.〔''Dictionary of Scottish Architects'', though the Listed Building Report states "''circa'' 1947".〕 The present occupant is Major-General Sir John Swinton KCVO OBE, former Lord Lieutenant of Berwickshire, and father of the actress Tilda Swinton.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Maj.-Gen.
