VISIT TO BALCASKIE is the home of Sir Toby and Lady Anstruuther, and the family have been here since the 12th century. The house was rebuilt by Sir William Bruce about 1670, and Balcaskie is probably his earliest house. Yet again a lot of Scottish history is bound up in this house and its family, and the rooms contain memento's of family life through the paintings, exquisite porcelain, and other family treasures including a memory of Queen Anne.

Dinner MELLERSTAIN is the splendidly situated home of the Earl and Countess of Haddington. The family came here in In 1770 Robert Adam was commissioned to finish the house.
