Hatton House, 17th-century estate with medieval tower in Ratho, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The rectangular mansion features circular towers, a central viewing platform, and substantial terraces along the southern side of the property.
The original tower, dating from 1515, was expanded into a grand mansion by Lord Charles Maitland, brother of the Duke of Lauderdale.
The estate contained elaborate parterres and ornamental gardens, with surviving structures including distinctive ogee-roofed pavilions and formal gateways.
Archaeological assessments reveal foundations of the original manor house and remnants of outer walls following the demolition in 1955.
James VI of Scotland utilized Hatton House as a hunting lodge in April 1589 before returning to Edinburgh due to concerns about disaffected lords.
