Steeped in history and grandeur, the estate has evolved under the careful stewardship of the Kinloch lineage. Shortly after acquiring the property, Sir Francis Kinloch rose to prominence as Lord Provost of Edinburgh and, in 1686, was created a baronet of Gilmerton. Nearly two centuries later, Sir David Kinloch, the 13th Baronet, returned to the estate in 1980 to restore it from disrepair, ushering in a new era of revitalization. Among his most impactful improvements was the installation of an environmentally friendly biomass boiler system—an innovation that continues to provide the remarkable warmth and comfort guests feel from the moment they step inside.
Today, Gilmerton House offers luxurious en-suite bedrooms, six exquisite reception rooms designed for elegant gatherings, and a stunning billiards room that captures the spirit of classic country living. Every space reflects refined character while embracing modern comfort.
Beyond the house itself, guests are invited to explore expansive grounds and a peaceful woodland trail, enjoy a variety of garden games, or perfect their swing on the brand-new 200-yard par 3 driving range. The estate's setting offers both seclusion and convenience—situated just outside Edinburgh and within easy reach of North Berwick's breathtaking beaches and historic castles.
Whether hosting an intimate private stay, a golfing retreat, or an exclusive celebration, Gilmerton House provides a majestic and versatile backdrop. With a dedicated team committed to bringing each guest's vision to life, this remarkable estate promises an experience defined by heritage, elegance, and heartfelt hospitality.
