Marchmont House, Palladian mansion in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom

The mansion displays Georgian architecture with symmetrical proportions, featuring grand reception rooms and ornate plasterwork executed by Thomas Clayton throughout its interior spaces.

Hugh Hume-Campbell, the 3rd Earl of Marchmont, built this country house in 1750, replacing the earlier family residence of Redbraes Castle.

The mansion contains a music room with a functioning organ, installed during renovations by Robert Lorimer between 1914 and 1917.

The property opens its doors for guided tours on selected days throughout the year and offers spaces for private events and corporate functions.

A 1.3-mile-long avenue, planted with Dutch elms in 1726, leads to the mansion and stands as one of the longest tree-lined approaches in Scotland.
