Hopetoun House

About

Completed in 1701, Hopetoun House’s first occupant was a 16 year old Charles Hope. A few decades later, the house was greatly extended by William Adam, and its interiors completed by his sons John and Robert. Since the 19th century, the manor has been a stately Scottish fixture, serving as the site of King George IV’s departure following his visit to Scotland, the knighting Captain Adam Ferguson and Henry Raeburn, and the home of the Duke of Sandringham in the BBC show 'Outlander'. Within the manor, visitors can admire some of the most grandiose interiors Scotland has to offer, with opulent gilding, classical motifs, and intricate carving and ceiling painting. The grand State apartments showcase the lavish lifestyles of the 18th century elite. Surrounding the manor is a 150 acre English-style landscape park where visitors visitors can enjoy a quiet walk, and maybe spy the resident deer. For more information, please visit hopetoun.co.uk
