A ravishing house in a marvellous setting, Prestonfield is further
enriched by its long and colourful history. The Dick-Cunynghams,
who owned the estate for over 300 years, were one of Scotland’s
foremost merchant families. Prominent in the civic and social life
of the capital, they remained staunch Catholics, supporters of the
Jacobite cause, and patrons of the arts. Prestonfield still provides
a compelling testament to their wealth, influence and indulgent
fascination with the finer things in life.
