Dalkeith Palace, Category A listed palace in Dalkeith, Scotland.
The sandstone palace features Dutch Baroque architecture with a classical façade, triangular pediment, and grand marble staircase in its central section.
Built between 1701 and 1711 by architect James Smith for Anna, Duchess of Buccleuch, replacing a medieval castle owned by Clan Graham since the 12th century.
The palace served as a residence for Scottish nobility and received distinguished guests including Mary Queen of Scots, King George IV, and Queen Victoria.
Located in Dalkeith Country Park, the palace offers guided tours during summer weekends from June through October, with access to surrounding walking paths.
Polish troops of the 3rd Flanders Rifle Brigade left graffiti on the wallpaper during World War II when they occupied the third floor.
