Dalmeny House, Tudor Revival mansion in Edinburgh, Scotland
Dalmeny House is a Tudor Revival mansion in northwest Edinburgh with Gothic turrets, tall windows and views across the Firth of Forth. Inside you find reception halls with wood panelling, ceiling paintings and display cabinets holding porcelain and historical objects.
Architect William Wilkins built the residence between 1814 and 1817 for the 4th Earl of Rosebery. The earl moved his main seat from the older Barnbougle Castle into this new building.
The collection reflects a rare link between British aristocracy and French imperial circles through portraits and furnishings. Many pieces entered the residence through the Rothschild family connection.
The estate opens in summer for guided tours that lead through several halls and corridors. Outside regular opening periods some rooms are available for private events.
Several cabinets hold mementos of Napoleon including clothing items and military equipment. These pieces form one of the largest collections of such objects outside France.
