Formerly known as Elphinstone Pans, the settlement was entirely remodelled as a planned village in the 1840s by the local landowner, the Earl of Dunmore. Dunmore is a conservation area.

The Dunmore Pineapple, an 18th century folly owned by the National Trust for Scotland, lies south of Dunmore, on the estate of the now-derelict Dunmore House.
