Old Photograph Arniston House Scotland
Old photograph of Arniston House located near Temple village, Midlothian, Scotland. This Georgian mansion was designed by William Adam in 1726 for Robert Dundas, of Arniston, the elder, the Lord President of the Court of Session. The Arniston Estate lands were a royal hunting park in the Middle Ages, and later owned by the Knights Templar, who gave the village of Temple its name. The estate came into the Dundas family in 1571, when they were bought by George Dundas of Dundas Castle. He left the estate to a younger son, James, who built a house and a walled garden here around 1620. The estate was expanded, and improvements were made by James' grandson Robert Dundas in the late 17th century. His son Robert, later the Lord President, continued the improvements, and built the present house.
