Smeaton House
Smeaton House, which was originally known as Smeaton Castle - in 18th century as East Park House - and most recently as Dalkeith Home Farm, appears originally to have been a courtyard castle, dating from the 15th century. It was rebuilt in the 16th century by Robert Richardson, and in the 18th century as a Classical house, attributed to James Smith (architect for the Buccleuch family). This was a 3-storey U-plan opening to the east. Less than half of that house remains.
The structure is now a property of the Buccleuch Estates, and is a dwelling house, adjacent to the farm buildings and cottages of the Home Farm of Dalkeith Palace Estate, lying well within the estate perimeter wall.
It is 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland and 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Inveresk, East Lothian.
