The house is now open for the 2024 season. Bookings for the 2024 season can be made via the link below.

Ever since the Keep and its sturdy iron yett went up in 1334, influential architects from Bryce to Lorimer and Fowler have imbued the building with defining styles, including the earliest example of Palladianism in Scotland.

A history of Scotland and its protagonists is engagingly told through the celebrated art collection that adorn the rooms. See paintings by Van Dyke, Raeburn, Lely and Kneller and important artefacts from Mary, Queen of Scots, Charles II and Napoleon.

Power, Drama, Intrigue. Lennoxlove has seen it all. Seat of the Maitlands through their meteoric rise. Home to the Regent Arran, a close relative of Mary, Queen of Scots, the base of the Privy Council Headquarters, an RAF Satellite Station when the 14th Duke of Hamilton was Commandant for Scotland and the family seat of the Hamilton family.

In a wooded hollow looking out to the Lammermuir Hills, the historic park is home to the stunning White Park Cattle, the closest link to the ancient Aurochs.

Trees planted by Kings and Queens, a 600 year-old chestnut and magnificent avenues frame the views of this extensive estate in East Lothian. The grounds are open to the public all year round.

On an occasional basis rental properties/business units around the estate and within the Hamilton & Boness areas become available to rent. For more information please contact our Property Team.

Our woodlands are managed on a continuous cover principle. Long-term thinning and restocking programmes provide timber for construction and wood fuel while avoiding the need to clear-fell and retaining the woods as an attractive landscape structure in perpetuity.

We’re always looking to engage and strengthen our associations with local schools and community groups in Haddington and the surrounding area. Please contact us to see how we might be able to assist.
