Worth waiting for!
Rome wasn't built in a day, and the same can certainly be said of Mellerstain. Begun in 1725 and finally completed in 1778, this grand stately home has a fascinating history, and is of unique architectural interest as the result of a fruitful collaboration of successive generations of the Baillie and Adam families, as patrons and architects.
Come and discover the story of Mellerstain for a day, and enjoy the fabulous paintings, embroidery, china and furniture collections, admire the classical perfection of Robert Adam's architecture and interior decoration, and be inspired by the friendly atmosphere and romantic location of one of Scotland's greatest Georgian houses.
