Statement of Interest

Beech Hill House was destroyed in 1944 by a plane crash; Lindsay Jamieson designed the new house in 1952. The stables, walled garden and summer house which belonged to the original House, still remain. The classical detail and chip carving of the Beech Hill Lodge make reference to the design of Arthur Lodge, Edinburgh, attributed to Thomas

Hamilton. The Beech Hill property belonged at this date to the Dalhousie family, for whom William Burn made alterations to Dalhousie Castle, Dalkeith, circa 1825.
