In 1686 the architect James Smith designed Newhailes House as his family home. After its purchase in 1709 by Sir David Dalrymple, William Adam was commissioned to design a new staircase and hall. Around 1750, further additions saw the construction of new wings, including a large double-height library. Newhailes is now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland who have conserved the property as an example of the evolution of a country house over centuries.
