Manderston is the supreme country house of Edwardian Scotland; the swansong of its era. It is diffficult to believe that most of the house was built in the first years of the last century. But Manderston, as it is today, is a product of the best craftsmanship and highest domestic sophistication the Edwardian era had to offer. It was built for Sir James Miller, a nouveau riche baronet who married into the traditional aristocracy and asked an up and coming Scottish architect, John Kinross, to create a home of glittering style to match his wealth and status as a country gentleman.
A product of the best craftsmanship and highest domestic sophistication the Edwardian era had to offer, the home and its grounds is the gem of Scotland and attracts hundreds of visitors internationally every year. What will strike you upon entering the grand house is the unique oval entrance hall, a classical revival room with beautiful marble floors and exceptional natural light. From there, you'll see the stunning vestibule and the vaulted cloakroom, framed by silver-plated grilles, high arches and panels of translucent apricot alabaster from Derbyshire.
Manderston is currently closed for renovations, and it will remain closed for the rest of 2020. We are taking this time to do extensive renovations to the house, and to launch an exciting new venue on the estate. We look forward to re-opening in 2021, and as we get closer to the launch date we will.
This lion's head is actually the doorbell for the main entrance. To use the doorbell, a man on his horse was supposed to pull the lever on the lion using his riding boot. It is a fine example of how no expense was spared in creating Manderston. If you're looking to host an event in a stately home, .
Did you know that the morning room is circular? It is also the only remaining original room at Manderston with decor and design dating back to the Regency period.
