Explore Hopetoun House & Grounds

As you approach Hopetoun House, the impressive panoramic view of the main facade is breathtakingly revealed. Designed by William Bruce and then altered and extended by William Adam, Hopetoun House is one of the finest examples of 18th century architecture in Britain.


The magnificent interiors which have remained virtually unchanged for three centuries reflect the elegance of the Georgian era and are decorated with the best period furniture, paintings, tapestries and clocks, with beautifully crafted finishes of carving, gilding and plaster work.

The grounds at Hopetoun are the perfect place to watch and enjoy wildlife. From quiet woodland corners to the beautiful spring garden, there is something to look out for throughout the year. You can download the Hopetoun Grounds Map to help you plan your visit and find your way around the grounds using the Spring Garden Trail and Sea Walk Trail.

This feels like a house still alive and breathing its history. The most warmly friendly well informed guide (ladies) were so pleasant and helpful. Wonderful views over surrounding countryside.
