Dalmeny House, just outside Edinburgh on the shores of the Firth of Forth, is the home of the Earls of Rosebery.  It is one of Scotland’s most important nineteenth-century country houses, designed in the ‘Tudor Gothic’ style, the first Scottish example of this style. It was completed in 1823 and was designed for the 4th Earl of Rosebery by the notable English architect William Wilkins, who later became famous for his Greek-Revival National Gallery building in London.  The building has an elaborate silhouette of steeply pitched gables, pinnacles, finials and decorated chimney stacks, above a crenelated parapet.  Much of the decorative detail was created using Coade stone.

Simpson & Brown are currently employed as conservation architects responsible for fabric repairs and are assisting structural engineers, Narro, with extensive foundation remedial works.  A wide ranging alteration and re-modelling programme is also underway for clients, the Rosebery Estates Partnership and Project Managers, Galbraiths.
