Scope and Content Marble Hall, Gosford House, Aberlady, East Lothian Gosford House, designed in 1790 by Robert Adam for the Earl of Wemyss, was extensively remodelled in the 1890s by William Young who added a magnificent marble hall which was photographed in 1893 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The hall, on the principal floor of the house, has Caen stone on the wall surfaces, and pink and white Derbyshire alabaster for the columns, ceiling insets and balustrades of the double stair that curves up past fat alabaster urns to the gallery above. The hall has been compared to Young's earlier work in Glasgow's City Chambers (1883-8). In shadow, under the curve of the stair, there is a splendid 16th-century marble chimneypiece with Classical forms, imported from Italy. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
