Caroline Park, Category A listed mansion in Granton, Scotland
Caroline Park mansion features a French-influenced south elevation with ornate plasterwork, painted ceilings, and intricate wrought iron balustrades throughout the structure.
Sir George Mackenzie rebuilt the original L-plan Royston House between 1683 and 1696, transforming it into a quadrangular mansion with sophisticated architectural elements.
The mansion served as residence for notable figures including Henry Cockburn and composer Alicia Scott, who wrote the melody for Annie Laurie.
Following extensive conservation work in recent decades, the privately owned Caroline Park has returned to domestic use with its original architectural features preserved.
William Adam designed and constructed an extension to the mansion between 1740 and 1741, adding new architectural elements to the existing structure.
