An exquisite mansion on Edinburgh's doorstep has announced a new event space, perfect for weddings and other celebrations.
Gilmerton House, the esteemed Georgian country retreat nestled in North Berwick, is launching a new event space named The Laundry House.
The expansion has been newly renovated and being at the back of the house, it is ideal for private functions. Gilmerton House adds that it can be booked as an additional space alongside, or independently, of the main house.

With its rustic interior, it was originally built in 1804 and after being beautifully restored it can accommodate up to 100 seated guests. The venue includes a spacious main room, with dark beamed roof, wood and flagstone tiled floor, and has a beautiful outdoor terrace.
The addition of the Laundry House compliments the existing rooms and guests can now choose The Laundry House to suit their requirements, which may formerly have required a marquee.
The house has a rich history dating back to the 17th century and has been beautifully restored over the years, complete with a biomass boiler. Gilmerton warmly welcomes guests for private stays, golfing retreats, exclusive events and celebrations throughout the year.
Graham Booth, General Manager of Gilmerton House said: 'We are thrilled to introduce The Laundry House as the newest addition to Gilmerton House.
"With its rich history, unique character and stunning location, we believe the 'The Laundry House' will allow us to cater to a broader range of discerning guests who appreciate the unique beauty and tranquillity that Gilmerton House and its estate offer and will be a popular choice for those looking to create memorable events.
"The Laundry House, has over the years, been home to the estate’s laundry, a garage and more recently, a gym. Now, after its recent transformation, this gorgeous new blank canvas can be used to host everything from private parties and product launches to yoga retreats and wedding ceremonies. Its versatility is a huge asset to Gilmerton House and will be available either independently or incorporated with the main house."
