This grand house was built in 1612 by Thomas Dalyell, a merchant who made his fortune at the court of King James VI and I. His son, General Tam Dalyell, formed the legendary regiment of Royal Scots Greys and was said to have made a deal with the Devil. You can admire the magnificent plaster ceilings, the Scottish Renaissance painted wood decoration, and the rich collection of family portraits, furniture and porcelain that reveal the lives and interests of the family through the centuries. The house is open for pre-booked tours only, so make sure you book your ticket in advance.
You can also explore the extensive landscaped parkland on one of the waymarked trails, where you can see sheep, cattle and a peafowl colony of about 20. Don't miss the tower on the hill, which offers a wonderful panoramic view of central Scotland. The House of the Binns is a fascinating place to discover the history, legend and memory of a Scottish family.
