Bonnington House is a 19th-century country house near Wilkieston, around 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) west of the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is a category A listed building.[1]
The house was built in 1622, and was the home of the Foulis Baronets of Colinton.[2] Sir James Foulis, 2nd Baronet, served as Lord Justice Clerk from 1684 to 1688, taking the title Lord Colinton. Bonnington later passed to the Wilkies of Ormiston.[2]
The house passed from the Scott family to Hugh Cunningham, Lord Provost of Edinburgh around 1702.[3] It is said to have been doubled in size c.1720.[4] In 1720 the house was owned by Hugh's son, Alexander Cunningham.
In 1858 the house was completely remodelled in a Jacobean style.[1] The house and its 100-acre (40 ha) estate was bought by the present owners in 1999,[5] and in 2001 the house was refurbished by Lee Boyd Architects.[2] Two new wings were designed by Benjamin Tindall Architects, granted planning consent in 2010 and completed in 2015.[6] The grounds of the house have been developed as a sculpture park, now open to the public as Jupiter Artland.[5]
