Discover the enchanting historic house and gardens of Monteviot, the cherished family home of the Marquis of Lothian and the Kerr family for almost four centuries. Nestled above the winding River Teviot in the Scottish Borders, this magnificent country estate sits astride the legendary Dere Street, the ancient Roman road connecting York to Scotland.
Unlike traditional historic houses that function as museums, Monteviot remains a vibrant family residence surrounded by lovingly tended beautiful gardens. The house showcases generations of carefully curated art collections and antique furniture, telling the compelling story of both the Lothian family and Scotland's rich heritage since 1700.
Our stunning Borders gardens have been thoughtfully recreated as a personal expression of 21st-century Scottish garden design. Explore eleven distinct themed gardens including the Garden of Persistent Imagination, Water Garden, Rose Garden, and Laburnum Tunnel.
Experience guided house tours, enjoy woodland walks along St Cuthbert's Way, visit the Wellington Monument, or stay in our charming Stables West accommodation. Located near Jedburgh, Kelso, Hawick, St Boswells and Galashiels, Monteviot offers the perfect Scottish Borders day out for garden enthusiasts, history lovers, and families seeking an authentic heritage experience.
