The estate was the property of the Dalmahoys of that Ilk until the
early 18th century. The house was built in 1725 for George Dalrymple, a
younger son of the Earl of Stair, and was designed by the architect
William Adam (1689–1748). Dalmahoy was sold in 1750 to James Douglas,
14th Earl of Morton.
In 1787 an extension and a number of alteration were made to designs by
Alexander Laing. Further alterations were made in the 1830s, involving
William Burn, and in 1851 by Brown and Wardrop. In 1927 the house was
leased and converted to a hotel, with golf courses being established in
the grounds.
The present hotel was built in 1990, and comprises substantial
extensions to the original building and the golf course/hotel complex
played host to the second ever (and first in Europe) Solheim Cup in
1992. The hotel is now part of the Marriott chain, on a long term lease
from John Charles Sholto Douglas, 21st Earl of Morton.
