Mellerstain, the Adam masterpiece and one of Scotland's most beautiful houses, is famous for its prize-winning gardens and lakeside walks, and for its interior plasterwork, featuring intricate classical themes and rich Adam colours. Much admired, too, are the fine paintings, furniture and needlework collected over centuries.
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.
The gardens may be hired for product-launches, 'away-days', fairs and concerts, while the state-rooms of the house provide a glorious setting for weddings, with magnificent four-poster bedrooms for the bridal party.
Mellerstain is a 'must-see' for all Borders visitors!
