During the 12th and 13th centuries, Traquair House was a royal hunting lodge. In 1491, after several changes in ownership, it passed to James Stewart, the first Earl of Traquair. The external appearance of the house has changed little since the early 18th century, though the interior has been much altered since that date. The home is in private ownership but is open to the public.
