Scope and Content Malleny House, Currie, Edinburgh, from the south-east Malleny House, built for the Scott family in the first half of the 18th century, incorporates an earlier building dating from the 16th century. The house and gardens now belong to The northational Trust for Scotland. The house, in a traditional Scottish 17th-century style, has crowstepped gables and a dormered attic floor. The front door, under a large fanlight, lies at the east end of the house, and forms a link with a single-storeyed bow-wing extension added c.1820. The grounds were planted with yew hedges and trees, the majority of which still survive in the gardens today. A list of trees planted in 1783 includes beech, birch, elm, horse chestnut, oak, poplar and rowan, as well as a great variety of fruit trees. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
