House of the Binns
 The House of the
Binns is located in West Lothian, about 8km/5
miles west of South Queensferry. The existing
house, which was built by Thomas Dalyell, an Edinburgh merchant, replaced an
earlier one on the same site. His son, General Tam Dalyell, extended the house
later in the seventeenth century. Further extensions in the 18th and early 19th
centuries with the result that little is visible of the 17th century work.
 The
tower on Binns Hill was built in 1826 by Sir James Dalyell, 5th Baronet, as a wager with
one of the Hope family for £29 10s.
