The Hirsel, Category A listed country house in Coldstream, Scotland
The Hirsel occupies a vast estate with formal gardens, woodland paths, and an artificial lake alongside the meandering Leet Water in the Scottish Borders region.
The residence became the primary seat of the Earls of Home in the mid-17th century after Hume Castle's destruction and housed former British Prime Minister Alec Douglas-Home.
The Homestead Craft Centre and Museum of Country Life within the estate grounds showcase traditional Scottish craftsmanship and rural heritage through exhibitions.
The estate provides visitor facilities including a tea room, craft workshops, parking area, and marked walking trails through the expansive parkland and gardens.
The grounds maintain a heritage herd of Douglas pedigree Highland Cattle and contain two nationally recognized heritage trees within the 18th-century walled garden.
