Georgian Mansion on 764-Acre Estate with 18 Properties Near Edinburgh, Scotland
Just 10 miles from Edinburgh, Newliston Estate is on the market for the first time—offering 764 acres of historic land, income-generating properties, and one of the last architectural works by 18th-century Scottish master Robert Adam.
Commissioned in 1792–3 by the Hog family, the Georgian mansion was Adam’s final country house design. It stands as a testament to neoclassical precision: 13 bedrooms, five reception rooms, and Adam’s hallmark symmetry and decorative detail throughout.
But Newliston’s legacy runs deeper. Owned by just two families—the Dundases and the Hogs—since the 15th century, its story is interwoven with Scotland’s own. Both the house and grounds are designated of “outstanding architectural and historical interest” by Historic Scotland.
The grounds, originally laid out in the early 18th century by Field Marshal John Dalrymple, 2nd Earl of Stair, were inspired by the gardens of Versailles. Avenues form the shape of a Union Jack; ponds, canals, and a walled garden extend the symmetry beyond the walls of the home.
Despite its pastoral quiet, Newliston is minutes from Scotland’s capital, the airport, and key motorways. The estate includes 18 additional properties—both residential and commercial—that generate significant income, making it as functional as it is iconic.
