Duddingston House, Category A listed mansion in Duddingston, Scotland
The mansion features a two-story Palladian block facing east toward the Forth estuary, with subsidiary blocks arranged in a square formation around the main building.
The estate cost £30,000 to construct between 1763 and 1768 under the direction of architect Sir William Chambers for James Hamilton, the 8th Earl of Abercorn.
Inside the mansion, each room displays specific 18th-century design elements, including decorated stucco walls, carved fireplaces, and intricate cornices throughout the spaces.
The building stands near Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat, with access routes connecting it to central Edinburgh through Milton Road West.
The cavalry of Bonnie Prince Charlie established their camp within the park grounds before participating in the Battle of Prestonpans during 1745.
