Ingliston House

This afternoon, John, Sandra and I were at Ingliston House on the western outskirts of Edinburgh for a National Rural Mental Health Forum meeting, which is always held in Ingliston House, where I blipped one of the many stained glass windows, which are all very agricultural themed.

Ingliston House serves as the headquarters of the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS). The house was built in grey-buff ashlar for William Mitchell-Innes, a Director of the Bank of Scotland, by Brown and Wardrop in 1846. It features pepper-pot turrets and a cap-house with crow-stepped gables above the entrance. The interior includes mock Jacobean ceilings and the drawing room has a fine white marble chimney-piece.

It’s a fine house to have a meeting in.

Here’s hoping you have had a good start to the week.
