Stevenson House is a mansion near the village of Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland.[1]

History

The estate was once owned by the William Douglas of Straboc before being purchased by the Sinclair family in 1624.

A castle may have existing at the site prior to the current mansion house. On 16 May 1544 a residence was destroyed after the burning of Edinburgh by Lord Hertford during the Rough Wooing.[2] It was rebuilt in 1560 and the current mansion house incorporates that building.
