Scotland’s Forgotten Palladian Villa — The Rise and Fall of Mavisbank House.

Описание: This video looks at the rise, fall, and potential future of Mavisbank House—Scotland’s first Palladian villa. Built in the 1720s by architect William Adam and Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, a prominent figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, Mavisbank was a landmark of classical design and intellectual ambition. Over the centuries, the house suffered from neglect, institutional abuse, and eventual abandonment. Now, after decades of decay, restoration efforts are finally gaining momentum. Join me as I explore the building’s history, architecture, and the urgent need to preserve it for future generations.
