In 1723 work commenced on the construction of Mavisbank House, the design resulting from collaboration between the owner, Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, and the architect William Adam. Built in the classical style, the main house is linked by screen walls to flanking pavilions. A fire in 1973 destroyed the roof and the house is currently a shell.
