Eildon Hall, near St Boswells, Roxburghshire, is one of the houses belonging to the Dukes of Buccleuch and Queensbury. It is located at the foot of Eildon Hill, just south of the town of Melrose in the Scottish Borders. Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester (née Lady Alice Montagu-Douglas-Scott, daughter of the seventh Duke) is very descriptive of Eildon Hall, her childhood home, in her memoirs. She describes it as a Georgian house with Victorian additions, made from the local coral pink sandstone, and standing 600 feet above sea level. She also describes the view from the house as a wonderful view of the valley below stretching away to the Cheviots thirty miles distant.
