In the sixteenth century it was rebuilt as the home of the Marquesses of Lothian and has fine examples of seventeenth century woodwork and plaster ceilings; including the magnificent 19^th century Drawing Room where our meetings are held. It stands in some 125 acres of garden and woodland on the banks of the Esk, seven miles from Edinburgh and about three miles from Rosslyn Chapel.

FEES ALL prices include the use of Newbatlle Abbey facilities including the gardens and woodland. There are no hidden extras and our charges include all local taxes, coffee, breakfast, lunch, afternoon teas and dinner for the period you have booked.
