Lennoxlove, dating from the 14th Century, is the home of the Duke of Hamilton, Scotland's premier Duke, and is situated in 600 acres just 25 minutes drive south east of Edinburgh. Originally built in the 14th century for the Maitlands of Lethington, the house was named Lennoxlove after Frances Teresa Stewart, Duchess of Richmond and Lennox, a renowned beauty and favourite of Charles II. Lennoxlove was acquired by the 14th Duke of Hamilton in 1946 and remains a splendid setting for the famous Hamilton Palace collection of furniture and paintings as well as mementoes of Mary Queen of Scots.
