The Glen, Category A listed country house in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom.
The Glen House displays Scottish Baronial architecture with its stone facades, multiple towers, and decorative elements across the extensive estate grounds.
Edinburgh banker Alexander Allan acquired the estate in 1796, while his son William commissioned architect William Henry Playfair to extend the original farmhouse.
The estate maintains traditional Scottish architectural heritage through its baronial design, gardens, and connections to prominent Victorian-era social circles.
The estate contains various functional buildings including stables, farm structures, estate cottages, and designed landscapes spread across 3,500 acres of land.
The property underwent significant changes under Charles Tennant's ownership, with architect David Bryce designing the current mansion between 1854 and 1855.
