Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The archaeological evidence strongly suggests that the original house constructed by Dame Margaret Douglas of Balmakellie was substantially the same as the house later purchased by Charles Maitland of Hatton, although he improved and somewhat extended it. For this reason, some mentions is made of Hatton's house in this chapter and the plans mostly apply in his case also, although his house is examined in the next chapter. It seems most likely that the motivation in acquiring and developing the house was different in each of these two cases, and the significance of the house to each of them consequently differed. The Balmakellie Lodging successfully combined a number of fairly traditional and some rather advanced elements. In the 1670s it was one of the largest townhouses in Edinburgh. |
