Scope and Content Haddington House, No 27 Sidegate Street, Haddington, East Lothian, from north-west This view from the north-west, taken in 1979, shows the frontage of the house to Sidegate. The balustraded stair and canopied doorway were added in 1680, for Alexander Maitland and Katherine Cunninghame, to the early-17th-century body of the house. This building was purchased in the 1960s for preservation, at a time when it was threatened with demolition. It was converted in 1969 into the headquarters of the Lamp of the Lothians Collegiate Centre, to designs by W Schomberg Scott. Haddington is the county town of East Lothian, and was, until the coming of the railways, a social as well as economic and administrative centre. It was especially prosperous in the 17th century, when several large houses were built, including this one, which dates in essence from the early 17th century. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
