Haddo House, Georgian country house in Methlick, Scotland.

The Palladian mansion presents white stone facades, symmetrical wings, and tall windows arranged across three floors in a balanced composition.

William Adam completed the construction in 1732 for the Gordon family, who maintained ownership of the estate for more than five centuries.

The interior contains 85 castle paintings by James Giles and houses the Cabot Commemorative State Dinner Service with twenty-four settings from 1897.

The estate offers walking trails, a tearoom serving light meals, and facilities for disabled visitors, with dedicated parking spaces near the entrance.

During World War II, the mansion transformed into the Haddo Emergency Hospital, where 1,200 Glasgow mothers gave birth to their children.
