Orangery

The Orangery, which has rich Jacobean detailing on a raised dais, was designed by William Burns and built around 1852 to grow exotic fruits for the Duke of Buccleuch at Dalkeith House.  To this end there was a condenser heating system in the vaulted cellar.   Nowadays the Roman Doric columns are devoid of glass.  The building has been newly repaired and repurposed as a venue for hire for a variety of functions such as weddings or parties throughout summer.
