Mellerstain House

เพิ่มเติม

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and the same can be said of Mellerstain. Begun in 1725 and finally completed in 1778, this grand stately home has a fascinating history, and is of unique architectural interest as the result of a fruitful collaboration between the Baillie family and famous architects William and Robert Adam. Great country houses like Mellerstain reflected the new-found optimism and stability of a more enlightened and prosperous Scotland in the 18th century, and the splendid Robert Adam interiors with their classical plasterwork friezes and glowing colors.
