Morning Room

Just off the Entrance Hall, this room was the principal bedroom on the Adam plan, but was never used as such. It was used as a study, office, and sitting room by the family. It was fitted out after 1795 and contains a marble fireplace, typical of those found in the New Town of Edinburgh. The wallpaper is copied from a design at Temple Newsam, near Leeds, dating to c.1820. In 2022 this room was changed into the permanent exhibition about past owners links with the transatlantic slave trade.
