Marchmont is only open to the public for a limited number of days each year. As well as holding a limited number of expertly guided, public House Tours, Private Tours can be arranged on request.
A typical Private Tour follows the public House Tour format, but can be tailored to focus on elements of the collections in greater detail to match a group's specific interests.
Private Tours take place on weekdays only. A variety of refreshment options is available on request.
Marchmont is a Grade A-listed Palladian mansion built in 1750-1755 by Hugh Hume-Campbell, the 3rd Earl of Marchmont, under plans drawn up by William Adam and executed by Thomas Gibson.
The house was transformed between 1914-1917, when new owner Robert Finnie McEwen commissioned the eminent Scottish architect Sir Robert Lorimer to enlarge and modernise the house. It contains some of the finest Georgian interiors in Scotland, Lorimer’s magnificent oak-panelled Music Room, and an eclectic art and furniture collection spanning 550 years of art history. The collection has a particular focus on Georgian art and furniture, modern British sculpture, Arts & Crafts, and Pre-Raphaelite art.
Marchmont is a private family home at the heart of the Marchmont Estate, near Greenlaw in Berwickshire, and lies at the end of the longest planted avenue in Scotland (1.3 miles). The House was awarded the 2018 Historic Houses Award, sponsored by Sotheby’s, for its seven-year restoration.
