What is recorded here
Lennoxlove is a 17th-century country house in East Lothian, Scotland, built around a 15th-century tower and bounded by 460 acres of walled parkland. It survived decay and costly restoration because the Hamilton family treated it as a living home rather than a dead monument. The house now lets wealthy visitors inhabit its luxurious rooms, turning private memory into a business that keeps its walls, art and gardens intact.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Lennoxlove as Country House (17th Century), Tower House (15th Century), Wall(s) (17th Century) (1680). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Lennoxlove was built by the powerful Hamilton family in the 15th century and expanded in the 17th century. It is important as a historic seat of the Earls of Abercorn and for its well-preserved architecture reflecting Scottish noble life.
