Bonnington House, Category A listed building near Wilkieston, Edinburgh, Scotland
The two-storey mansion displays Jacobean architectural elements with harled exterior walls and stands within a 100-acre estate surrounded by gardens.
Built in 1622, the residence belonged to Sir James Foulis, Lord Justice Clerk and Lord Colinton, before passing to the Wilkies of Ormiston.
The property combines traditional Scottish architecture with modern additions, including a structural glass staircase introduced during the 2001 renovations.
The estate now functions as Jupiter Artland, a sculpture park open to visitors who want to explore both the historical building and artistic installations.
Archaeological excavations revealed original sandstone steps, foundation walls, and a 17th-century stone well connected to the house through a lead pipe system.
