House of the Binns, Country house in West Lothian, Scotland.
The House of the Binns features pink washed walls across three storeys and stands within 260 acres of parkland overlooking the Forth River.
Thomas Dalyell, an Edinburgh merchant, acquired the property in 1612 and initiated construction of the current structure, which replaced a 15th-century castle.
The King's Chamber contains elaborate plasterwork by Alexander White, representing the refined craftsmanship of 17th-century Scottish architectural decoration.
The property opens daily from March through October, with guided tours available between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, managed by the National Trust for Scotland.
A tower built in 1829 following a wager by Sir James Dalyell remains a distinct feature of the estate's landscape.
