Dawyck House, Category B listed building in Drumelzier, Scotland.

Dawyck House stands on an elevated position within extensive grounds, featuring traditional Scottish architectural elements and surrounded by botanical gardens.

The original thirteenth-century Dawyck Castle belonged to the Veitch family until 1691, when Sir James Nasmyth acquired the property and initiated changes.

The mansion forms part of a designated landscape that includes formal gardens, botanical specimens, and the Dawyck Chapel within its historical grounds.

The property contains numerous pathways through gardens and woodlands, allowing visitors to explore different sections of the estate throughout the seasons.

In 1650, Dawyck became one of the first locations in Scotland to introduce horse chestnut trees, marking its early role in botanical innovation.
