Dalmeny, City of Edinburgh
★★★
House closed for major refurbishment (checked April 2024)
Dalmeny House is the grandest attraction belonging to the attractive village of Dalmeny. This 19th stately home is built in Tudor Gothic style, inhabited by the Earl of Rosebery and set amongst beautiful parkland. It’s easy to forget that the centre of Edinburgh is barely 7 miles distant, making this area an easy escape to the country for city dwellers. Our coastal Cramond to Queensferry walk also passes the rear of the mansion.
