Lonely Planet review for Hopetoun House
One of Scotland’s finest stately homes, Hopetoun House has a superb location in lovely grounds beside the Firth of Forth. There are two parts – the older built to Sir William Bruce’s plans between 1699 and 1702 and dominated by a splendid stairwell with (modern) trompe l’oeil paintings; and the newer designed between 1720 and 1750 by three members of the Adam family, William and sons Robert and John. The highlights are the red and yellow Adam drawing rooms, lined in silk damask, and the view from the roof terrace.
