Arbigland

Arbigland Estate in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, lies on the coast of the Solway Firth, to the south-east of Kirkbean. It is the birthplace of John Paul Jones, the founder of the US Navy. There is a birthplace museum in the cottage where he was born, donated by the Blackett family to the John Paul Jones Museum Trust in 1997. 
Classical mansion.
The classical-styled Arbigland House was built in 1755 by the improving laird and gentleman architect William Craik (1703–98). His daughter, the poet and novelist Helen Craik (1751–1825), lived there until 1792. She was a friend and supporter of Robert Burns, who dined at the House. William's illegitimate son, James Craik, was the first Physician General of the United States Army and personal physician of George Washington. It is a Category A listed building.

The gardens have been included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.<ref>
