The accompanying descriptive text in the volume begins as follows:
'This mansion, a seat of His Grace the Duke of Abercorn, is situated in the parish of Duddingstone [sic], a short distance from Edinburgh. The house is a beautiful specimen of Grecian architecture, and was built in 1768 by James, the eighth Earl of Abercorn, after a design by the well known architect Sir William Chambers. The pleasure grounds which surround it were also planned with great taste, and with the house, cost the large sum of £30,000.'
The full text may be viewed from the volume which is held at the Edinburgh and Scottish Collection, Central Library, Edinburgh.
Duddingston House is now home to several Property Development companies.
