GORTON HOUSE, c.1670, occupies a charming position above the spectacular nature reserve of Roslin Glen commanding a fine view of the Pentland Hills and the picturesque Rosslyn Chapel which is on the opposite side of the valley.

EDINBURGH's famous Prince's Street and Edinburgh Castle are only 20 minutes drive away and the city provides all the attractions expected from Scotland's capital, yet within 5 miles of the rural setting of Gorton are the sporting facilities of eight golf courses, river and loch fishing, pony trekking, a dry-ski slope and three leisure centres with swimming pools. The Penicuik to Dalkeith walk/cycle track passes the gate of the premises and the Pentland Hills Regional Park provides the backdrop and is readily accessible.

The adjacent village of Rosewell has shops and pubs, as do the nearby communities of Bonnyrigg, and Penicuik, while Loanhead is home to Edinburgh's IKEA.

The holiday accommodation at GORTON HOUSE has been created by the complete renovation of the premises in its 19th Century Victorian form, and the re-building of a traditional stone cottage. Recently three new lodge cottages have been added within the extensive grounds.  This gives a total of seven units for  4-7 persons and by special arrangement parties of 30+ can be accommodated.
