Annotation below item reads 'sketched from nature 28th July 1837.'
Dalmahoy (from the Scottish Gaelic: Dail MoThua) is a hotel and former country house near Edinburgh. The house is protected as a category A listed building, while the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant gardens.
The estate was the property of the Dalmahoys until the early 18th century.The house was built in 1725 for George Dalrymple, a younger son of the Earl of Stair, and was designed by the architect William Adam (1689-1748). Dalmahoy was sold in 1750 to James Douglas, 14th Earl of Morton.
In 1787 an extension and a number of alteration were made to designs by Alexander Laing. Further alterations were made in the 1830s, involving William Burn, and in 1851 by Brown and Wardrop.In 1927 the house was leased and converted to a hotel, with golf courses being established in the grounds.
The present hotel was built in 1990, and comprises substantial extensions to the original building and the golf course/hotel complex played host to the second ever (and first in Europe) Solheim Cup in 1992. Dalmahoy is now an independent hotel.
