Lennoxlove, set among East Lothian woodlands a mile south of Haddington with a fine outlook to the Lammermuir Hills, is a house with a threefold interest - its historic architecture, the association of successive owners with the Royal Stewarts and its contents, especially it's paintings.
The earliest parts of the House were built well before 1400. In those days it consisted of a rectangular keep with walls up to eleven feet thick. It was called Lethington and belonged to the Maitland family. Prominent members of the family included Sir Richard the blind poet and his sons, William, who was Secretary of State to Mary Queen of Scots and John Maitland who became Lord Chancellor of Scotland in the reign of James VI and the first Lord Thirlestane. Sir John's descendants became the Earls and later Duke of Lauderdale.

The Duke of Lauderdale was responsible for substantial improvements to the house including the installation of sash windows and extensive internal refurbishments.
