Background
Architecture
Teviot was built in Hailes sandstone in a 16th-century Scots palace style with a coped crowstepped and pinnacled gables clasped by drum towers of the Falkland or Holyrood type but with large windows. It features large late Gothic traceried windows. In 1905 the 16th-century style west wing, containing the dining hall, library bar and sports bar, was completed in squared coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings. In 1962 a Modernist style extension was added to the rear, containing the study and the billiards room. Prior to construction the site housed Lord Ross's house, built c. 1740, which later became a lying-in hospital from 1793 to 1842.
