Greywalls

After some shopping at Fort Kinnaird, spent the afternoon going down the coast where I stopped to blip Greywalls Hotel at Gullane.

Designed by the celebrated Edwardian architect Sir Edwin Lutyens as a 'dignified holiday home' for Alfred Lyttelton, Greywalls was built in 1901.

The Hon. Alfred Lyttelton (1857–1913) served as a Member of Parliament from 1895 to 1913, holding office as Colonial Secretary from 1903 to 1905. He was also a talented sportsman, having previously played on the English national cricket and football teams. A keen golfer, in 1901 he commissioned the architect Edwin Lutyens to design a holiday home on a site adjacent to Muirfield golf course on the East Lothian coast. Originally known as High Walls, the house was designed in Lutyens' Arts and Crafts style. Lutyens also laid out the gardens, with the assistance of Gertrude Jekyll. Run now as a hotel with a Chez Roux restaurant.

I hope you have had a good Sunday all.
