Scope and Content Stable Block, Duddingston House, Milton Road West, Edinburgh, from south-east This view from the south-east, taken in 1979, shows the service court from the south-east. The pedimented wing on the left was originally the stables, and the kitchens and servants' quarters were in the wing on the left. The section with the cupola provided further living accommodation. The curious layout of this house, with the main block containing only the principal apartments, may be accounted for by the fact that the client was a bachelor. The house was an hotel in 1979 and is now private residences. Its interiors are unusually well-preserved. This house was built in 1763-8 to designs by William Chambers for the 8th Earl of Abercorn. The main body of the house is linked to a court of offices, incorporating the kitchens and stables. The house is set in grounds, laid out in 1768, which are now a golf course.
