This Adam masterpiece with its perfectly proportioned rooms and its enchanting view from the Italianate terrace mean that Mellerstain is one of the most beautiful houses imaginable. But whether its sweeping vistas, grand architectural statements, unmissable gardens or intricate details; photographers are in their absolute element here.
Your photography could win you a season pass. Please read on for more details.
As one of the truly great houses of Scotland, the setting at Mellerstain is quite stunning, as described beautifully here by the 13th Earl of Haddington.
‘Mellerstain is situated in the most perfect setting imaginable, backed onto a hillside overlooking water, and with a view (on a clear day) of the Cheviot hills in the distance. When in the early mornings and evenings the air is full of song 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’.
Of course, everyone has their own favourite views, but we thought it would be fun to take you on a tour of the 10 views which we love, that are unmistakably Mellerstain.
The view from the South Lawn
A favourite view for many visitors is the view from the South Lawn where you can see how well the building complements the exquisite, designed landscape.
