Newhailes is a beautiful 18th-century villa set in the outskirts of Edinburgh. It was the home of the Dalrymple family for several centuries, and has been in the care of the National Trust for Scotland since 1997. Careful conservation techniques have frozen the property in time, preserving the house as it was when it was acquired by the Trust.

Explore the principal floor and kitchen area on a self-guided visit, guides will be present in each room to answer any questions and provide more information. 

Last entry on both days 2pm. 

Facilities
Additional Access Information

The main house is not accessible due to multiple flights of stairs inside and outside the building. 

Due to the age and design of the house, mobility walking frames and children's prams/buggies are not permitted inside the main house.

The estate is mainly woodland areas and therefore the ground is uneven in places.
