Manderston
Manderston House, Duns, Berwickshire, Scotland, is the home of Adrian Bailie Nottage Palmer, 4th Baron Palmer. It was completely rebuilt between 1901 and 1903 and has sumptuous interiors with a silver plated staircase. The proprietor, Sir James Miller, 2nd Baronet (1864–1906), told the architect, John Kinross, that there was no budget - "It really doesn't matter".
==Origins==
Manderston was an estate of the powerful Hume family, and their tower house appears on General Roy's map of 1750. Alexander Hume, of Manderston, de jure 5th Earl of Dunbar (1651 to 1720) seems to be the last member of this family who owned the estate.〔G. E. Cockayne, ''Complete Peerage of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom, extant, extinct or dormant'', Vol. III (D to F) (London 1890)〕 To him on 14 October 1689 King William III confirmed the Earldom of Dunbar, exemplifying the previous confirmation thereof by King Charles II. The estate was later owned for a short time by the head of the Swinton family, who now reside at Kimmerghame House, from whom the actress Tilda Swinton was descended. The present big house at Manderston incorporates the earlier Georgian house built about 1790 for Dalhousie Watherston (1752–1803).
