Hopetoun House

As you approach Hopetoun House, the impressive panoramic view of the main facade is breathtakingly revealed. Designed by William Bruce and then altered and extended by William Adam, Hopetoun House is one of the finest examples of 18th century architecture in Britain.

The magnificent interiors which have remained virtually unchanged for three centuries reflect the elegance of the Georgian era and are decorated with the best period furniture, paintings, tapestries and clocks, with beautifully crafted finishes of carving, gilding and plasterwork. 

The Grounds

There are 150 acres of grounds to explore around the House, with several walks and trails. The Spring Garden Walk is a sea of daffodils in April; the Sea Walk Trail has wonderful views over the North Deer Park and and Hope's Walk is a mass of colour in June when the rhododendrons are in bloom.

Ranger Centre & Stables Tearoom

A visit to the Ranger Centre will provide information on the natural history and wildlife to be found in the grounds as well as fun activities for families. Complete your day with a visit to the Stables Tearoom which offers home baking, light refreshments and afternoon tea.
