Scottland Plantation House is a frame, center-hall plantation house and one of only three surviving Greek Revival structures in Madison Parish. The house once stood at the center of the 1,440 acre Scottland Plantation, from which much of Tallulah was later derived. Scottland Plantation was established by planter Thomas B. Scott, who served as the first sheriff of Madison Parish from 1838 to 1844. The house is the only remaining structure associated with the former Village of Richmond, which stood just south of Scottland Plantation at the junction of Brushy and Roundway Bayous and was burned by federal forces in June 1863 during the Siege of Vicksburg Campaign. Scottland Plantation House was placed on the National Register of Historical Places on November 2, 1982.
