We will then move on to the Double Villa, the home of Evelyn Silber. This is a private visit. All these are Thomson houses. We plan to have lunch at the House for an Art Lover. This house was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and submitted to a design competition in Germany, but was only constructed in recent years using his design drawings and other conjectural material based on his other designs. We will have a tour of the house with the resident artist. Time permitting we will then tour part of the city to see the new developments along the river including Zaha Hadid s Riverside Museum, Norman Foster s Clyde Auditorium, and churches by both Thomson and Mackintosh.

The family, now the Earls of Crawford and Balcarres built the huge main part of the house in Once again this house is the home of an importance collection of art, furniture and other contents connected with Scotlands long history. 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 Overnight at the Balmoral Hotel
7 Thursday, May 23 Day 5 check-out from Balmoral Hotel and depart from Edinburgh PRIVATE VISIT TO GOSFORD HOUSE is the home of the Earl of Wemyss and March and is an imposing neo-classical mansion which was one of the last great architectural commissions of the celebrated Scots architect, Robert Adam.

The staircase is a replica of the Petit Trianon and is plated in silver. There is a silver bathtub in a setting of Italian marble. PRIVATE VISIT TO THE HIRSEL is one of the loveliest private estates in Scotland. Again, the history of this country is bound up with the Douglas-Home family who have been here since The present Earl and Countess of Home live here with their family. The early part of the house is the original tower house The house was added to in around 1633, and the remainder of the building was completed in the Regency period.

The home of Scottish Kings going back to David 1 in The Stuart s have been here since around 1500 and it is Mr and Mrs Muller Stuart who live here and care for the house today. Traquair is a unique example of a castle into house, and much remains of the family history through the ages. Embroidery of about 1600, letters signed by Queen Mary, and a rare example of mural decoration from around 1550 remains in a room on the second floor. 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.
