Newliston Estate: 1793 Georgian Mansion by Robert Adam 764 Acres Near Edinburgh

Newliston Estate is on the market with Savills, offered as a whole or in two lots (558 to 764 acres / 225.81 to 309.18 hectares) with guide prices from £12,000,000 to £15,000,000.

Just 10 miles from Edinburgh in Scotland, Newliston Estate is on the market for the first time—offering 764 acres of historic land, income-generating properties, and one of the final country houses designed by 18th-century Scottish architect Robert Adam.

Commissioned in 1792–3, the Georgian mansion stands as a testament to Adam’s neoclassical precision: 13 bedrooms, five reception rooms, and the hallmark symmetry and decorative detailing that defined his later work.

But Newliston’s legacy runs deeper. Long associated with the Dundas family, the Dalrymples (Earls of Stair), and later the Hog family, its history is interwoven with Scotland’s own. The house is Category A-listed, and its designed landscape is included in Scotland’s national Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes.

The grounds, developed in the early 18th century under Field Marshal John Dalrymple, 2nd Earl of Stair, are traditionally said to draw inspiration from the gardens at Versailles. Historical accounts describe avenues radiating in a pattern reminiscent of the Union Jack, along with ponds, canals, and a walled garden extending the estate’s formal symmetry.

Despite its pastoral quiet, Newliston sits minutes from Edinburgh’s city centre, the airport, and Scotland’s motorway network. The estate includes a portfolio of let residential and commercial properties, supporting its position as both a historic estate and a functioning rural enterprise.

With its mix of arable land, parkland, and woodlands, Newliston offers notable development and leisure potential. The breadth of its holdings allows for multiple uses while maintaining the estate’s secluded character.

Evelyn Channing of Savills Edinburgh describes Newliston as a “pastoral oasis,” and it’s easy to see why.

This is not just a property—it’s a legacy. The combination of architectural significance, historic continuity, and a nationally recognised designed landscape makes Newliston a rare opportunity near Scotland’s capital.

For those captivated by history, architecture, or the allure of the Scottish countryside, Newliston Estate remains one of the region’s most distinctive holdings.
