House of the Binns
House of the Binns
FROM THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR SCOTLAND'S WEBSITE: "The House of the Binns stands as a living monument to one of Scotland’s oldest families, the Dalyells, who have lived here since 1612. It contains a fascinating collection of 17th- to 20th-century furniture, porcelain and portraits revealing the family’s lives and interests through the centuries. Military historians take note – it was here in 1681 that General Tam Dalyell formed the legendary regiment of Royal Scots Greys. Students of architecture, meanwhile, will be interested to see how the house reflects the 17th-century transition from fortified stronghold to spacious mansion."
