Hermitage HouseHermitage House was designed by the famous Scots architect Robert Burn and built in 1785. The style reflects the old Braid Castle thought to have been in what is now known as Midmar Paddock at the end of Hermitage Drive. The House includes a Visitor Centre where you can buy maps for the orienteering course. Forestry and Natural Heritage (0131-529 2401) is also based in Hermitage House. You might be interested in this review of the Story of a Stolen Heir by James Bertram which was published over 150 years ago. It has an Edinburgh background which includes descriptions of the Hermitage. It is long out of print but the three volume thriller is available online. |
