“I think it must have been somewhere about 1900 that I was called in by Lord Binning to transform and recondition the great house of Mellerstain, near Kelso... Lord and Lady Binning were enthusiastic on the matter of garden design, and with their help I laid out an important garden here with terraces, a crypto-porticus, parterres and water-pieces".
"When in the early
mornings and evenings the air is full
of the songs of birds and at night when
the stars shine from a clear sky, I know that there is nowhere else on Earth
that I would rather be than at Mellerstain."
John George Baillie-Hamilton, 13th Earl of Haddington.
