About this property
The House of the Binns stands as a living monument to one of Scotland’s oldest families, the Dalyells, who have lived here since 1612.

The House of the Binns contains a fascinating collection of 17th- to 20th-century furniture, portraits and porcelain, revealing their lives and interests through the centuries.

Military historians take note - it was here in 1681 that General Tam Dalyell formed the legendary regiment of Royal Scots Greys.

In the grounds, visitors can enjoy panoramic views over the River Forth.
