Mellerstain House, Country house in Scottish Borders, Scotland
The stone exterior of Mellerstain House features symmetrical wings connected by a central block, with ornate architectural details and classical proportions throughout the structure.
Construction began in 1725 by William Adam with two wings, and his son Robert Adam completed the central section between 1770 and 1778.
The library ceiling from 1773 displays educational themes with a painting of Minerva, reflecting the intellectual interests of the Baillie family.
The house opens from Easter until September, with guided tours available Friday through Monday, while gardens remain accessible seven days per week.
The interior preserves original 18th-century hand-printed wallpapers and silk brocade wall coverings in multiple rooms throughout the residence.
