Let In Edinburgh

Lauriston Castle was left in trust to the nation by its last private owners, Mr and Mrs William Robert Reid, who lived there from 1902 to 1926. Its Edwardian-period interiors have been carefully preserved, and reflect the taste of wealthy middle-class collectors of the period. As proprietor of Morison and Co., one of Scotland's leading cabinet-makers, Mr. Reid brought a lifetime's experience to the furnishing of Lauriston. Prints, paintings, tapestries, textiles, porcelain, Sheffield-plate, Blue John, British and Continental furniture and many objets d'art assembled by him, are enhanced by the Castle's carefully-considered decorative schemes.
