The present house was built in 1612 by Thomas Dalyell, an Edinburgh merchant who made his fortune at the court of King James VI and I in London.

The house contains an interesting collection of family portraits, furniture, porcelain and silver acquired over several generations.
A warm welcome awaits visitors at the home of the Dalyells, with rooms rich in family history and personality.
