Haltoun House
Haltoun House, or Hatton House, was a Scottish baronial mansion set in a park, with extensive estates in the vicinity of Ratho, in the west of Edinburgh City Council area, Scotland. It was formerly in Midlothian, and it was extensively photographed by ''Country Life'' in September 1911.〔Ref:Country Life. Sept 16 1911. pp408-415.〕
==Proprietors==
The earliest known proprietor, John de Haltoun, parted with it by sale on 26 July 1377〔''The Great Seal of Scotland'', no.724〕 when King Robert II confirmed it and all its pertinents upon a court favourite, Alan de Lawedre of Whitslaid, Berwickshire, & The Bass. Alan and his wife, Alicia Campbell, had already been confirmed (1371) in the adjoining lands of Norton.〔''Index of Records of Charters granted by Sovereigns of Scotland between 1309 and 1413'', Edinburgh, 1798.〕〔Balfour Paul, Sir James, ''The Scots' Peerage'', Edinburgh, 1904, vol. 1, 'Argyll', p.326.〕 Sir George de Lawedre of Haltoun, Knt., Lord Provost of Edinburgh, their second son, was given Haltoun, and adopted Arms with differences from The Bass family, from then on establishing the Haltoun cadet branch.〔Lauder-Frost, Gregory, ''Lauder Arms'', in ''The Double Tressure'', Edinburgh, 2007, The Heraldry Society of Scotland, 2007, p.25-6, 〕 George died about 1430. J.Stewart Smith (1898) lists the Haltoun lairds and states that the "first laird of Haltoun was Sir George de Lawedre who married a sister of Lord Douglas", being Helen, daughter of Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas, 'The Grim' (d.1400). His great-grandson, Sir George Lauder of Haltoun fell at the Battle of Flodden〔Douglas, Sir Robert, ''The Baronage of Scotland'',Edinburgh, 1798, p.549.〕 with two of his brothers, James Lauder of Norton, and Sir Alexander Lauder of Blyth〔Finlay, ''Hatton House'', Edinburgh, 1875〕〔Burnett, George, Lord Lyon King of Arms & A.E.J.G.Mackay, editors,''The Exchequer Rolls of Scotland'',Edinburgh 1891,volume XIII, 1508-1513, p.clxxxviii.〕
The Haltoun/Hatton estates remained in the Lauder family until the last Laird, Richard Lauder of Haltoun, settled them upon his younger daughter. Richard Lauder was a Justice of the Peace, was Member of Parliament for Edinburghshire in 1621, and in 1647 and 1648 was on the Committees of War for Edinburgh. He was also Commissioner of Excise in 1661. He died in November 1675 in Holyrood Abbey, Edinburgh, and was interred in Ratho Church on the 29th.〔''Index to Genealogies, Birthbriefs and Funeral Escutcheons Held by the Lord Lyon of Scotland'', Scottish Record Society.〕 His portrait (right), by John Scougal, hangs in Thirlestane Castle.
His second daughter, Elizabeth married, in 1652, Charles Maitland, 3rd Earl of Lauderdale and carried Haltoun to him. Haltoun was much closer to Edinburgh than Thirlestane Castle, and with the loss of Lethington the Maitlands made Haltoun House their principal residence (as opposed to seat) until 1792 when the 8th Earl of Lauderdale sold the estate for £84,000 to Miss Henrietta Scott of Scotstarvet, who married William Henry Cavendish-Scott-Bentinck, 4th Duke of Portland. The estate was then of excellent land, the revenue at the time: £3000 per annum. Her trustees sold the estate in 1797 to James Gibson of Ingleston, afterwards Sir James Gibson-Craig, 1st Baronet of Riccarton. He broke up the estate into lots, of which that including Haltoun House and was bought by the Reverend Thomas Randall (who afterwards took the surname of Davidson). He sold Haltoun House to the Earl of Morton in 1870, whose son Lord Aberdour sold it to James McKelvie in 1898. In 1915 it was sold to William Whitelaw, chairman of the London and North Eastern Railway company.
