Dalmeny House
Gothic revival mansion in Scotland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dalmeny House (pronounced /dælˈmɛni/ dal-MENI) is a Gothic revival mansion located in an estate close to Dalmeny on the Firth of Forth, in the north-west of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was designed by William Wilkins, and completed in 1817.[1] Dalmeny House is the home of the Earl and Countess of Rosebery. The house was the first in Scotland to be built in the Tudor Revival style.[1] It provided more comfortable accommodation than the former ancestral residence, Barnbougle Castle, which still stands close by. Dalmeny today remains a private house, although it is open to the public during the summer months. The house is protected as a category A listed building,[2] while the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.[3]
