Broughton Place is a historic house in the village of Broughton in the Scottish Borders, designed by the young architect Basil Spence, then a partner at the Edinburgh firm Rowand Anderson, Paul and Partners, in the style of a seventeenth-century Scottish baronial tower house. It was commissioned in 1935 by Professor Thomas Renton Elliott and his wife, built between 1936 and 1938 of brick finished with harling, and features wooden panelling and decorative plaster ceilings, with relief panels and lion gateposts by the sculptor Hew Lorimer. The house occupies the site of an earlier residence owned by John Murray of Broughton, secretary to Bonnie Prince Charlie during the 1745 Jacobite rising, and was converted into flats in 1975; its ground floor housed the Broughton Gallery, a commercial art gallery, from 1976 until 2010.
