Penicuik House, Country house in Midlothian, Scotland.
The Palladian mansion features a central hexastyle portico with grand columns and large windows across its symmetrical stone facade.
The estate, purchased by John Clerk in 1646, underwent transformation when Sir James Clerk constructed the present house between 1761 and 1769.
The mansion contained the Ossian Hall with ceiling paintings by Alexander Runciman depicting scenes from Scottish mythology and Saint Margaret's life.
Following a fire in 1899, the adjacent Georgian stable block was converted into a new residence for the Clerk family.
The dovecote on the estate replicates Arthur's O'on, an ancient Roman temple that once stood near Stenhousemuir but was demolished in 1743.
