The Ballroom

This large reception room with two walls of large bay windows was added by Playfair in 1842 to command the panoramic view across the River Tweed.

The interior was altered by Duchess May to display many of the larger works of art in her collection, particularly the late 17th century 'Gobelins Tapestries'.

The ballroom has two large Savonnerie carpets and a superb collection of gilt furniture.
