Kelloside is a historic place south of Kirkconnel parish and the River Nith in Dumfries and Galloway, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.[1][2] Old Kelloside is located along the Kello Water, which joins the Nith a mile (1.5 km) to the east.[2]

It was designated a Historic Environment Scotland property in 1986. It is a large two-story farmhouse built in 1870 or 1876, likely incorporating an earlier house. It is a L-shaped building.[1]

It was the birthplace of Archibald McCall (1734–1814), whose family had lived on the land for generations. His father, Samuel McCall, was a merchant who operated between Glasgow and Colonial Virginia.[3]

It is described as:

Stugged and snecked ashlar. Hood-moulded windows with lying-panes and stop-chamfered reveals; gabled 1st floor dormer heads. West elevation: ground floor bipartite and single 1st floor/window to outer bays, gabled left bay boldly advanced; square, steep-gabled, narrow, full-height inner bay in re-entrant angle, with single windows, round-headed door facing south. Sawtooth skews with shaped skewputts; corniced stacks over north and south gables, other gables finialed. Roofed with graded slates.
