Parkhill has been the home of the Duncan family for over 200 years. Alexander Duncan acquired the property in 1799, when he retired from the East India Company, and built the house in 1804. The front has the classical Georgian architecture of that period. Alexander Duncan was a plant collecting pioneer in the 18th century who sent back hydrangeas and magnolias from Canton in China, and a tree peony, for which he received a fellowship of the Royal Society. A tree peony, identical to the one at Kew, and thought to be amongst the first to survive the sea journey back from China, was planted in the garden at Parkhill, and is now in the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh.

In 1905 another Alexander Duncan began a programme of alterations to the house which included moving the Doric porch from the front to the west side of the house and also adding the second floor. This involved moving the drive so that it terminated at the side of the house, thus leaving an uninterrupted view from the front of the house. One of the Duncan wives was the daughter of Robert Fleming Gourlay, a Fife laird and social reformer, who, taking up the cause of those less fortunate than himself, was an important participant in laying the foundation of the Canadian constitution. Many of the Duncans who lived at Parkhill had distinguished naval careers.
