01 Mar Yester House, East Lothian
This mansion is near the village of Gifford in East Lothian.
It’s worth a visit on any tours of Scotland.
It was built in 1745 and was the seat of the Marquis of Tweeddale.
The house contains a great deal of fine plaster decoration.
This includes the famous room decorated by the French artist Delacour in 1761.
The Gifford family have been in possession of the lands since at least the 12th century.
The house has a great history.
There is also Yester castle.
