Dalkeith Palace was finished in 1711 for Anna, 1st Duchess of Buccleuch. It's regarded as one of the grandest early classical houses in Scotland. The palace has hosted many famous and royal visitors including Bonnie Prince Charlie, King George IV and Queen Victoria.
The estate has been transformed in the last few years with new shops, cafes and a wellbeing space. The trails around the estate have been improved and the buildings have been cleaned and restored.
