The East Wing was added in 1812-13 by architect Robert Reid to house the library and picture gallery. Other inhabitants were Alexander Home and his son George Home WS FRSE (of Wedderburn and Paxton). In 1852 the wife of David Milne inherited the house and he renamed himself David Milne-Home. Formerly the seat of the Paxton family, who became Forman-Home, Milne-Home, and finally Home-Robertson as the direct male lines failed and the inheritance progressed through a female. In 1988, the last laird, John David Home Robertson, a socialist member of Parliament, placed the house and grounds into the Paxton House Historic Building Preservation Trust. It is now open to the public and is a Partner Gallery of the National Galleries of Scotland. (en)
  • Paxton House è un palazzo storico situato a Paxton, contea di Berwickshire negli Scottish Borders, pochi chilometri a sudovest di Berwick-upon-Tweed, adiacente al fiume Tweed. Costruita come villa rurale per Patrick Home di Billie in un vano tentativo di attrarre un'ereditiera prussiana. Attribuita all'architetto scozzese James Adam (forse in collaborazione col figlio John Adam), fu costruita tra il 1758 e il 1766, sotto la supervisione di James Nisbet, con vasti interni (ca. 1773) disegnati da Robert Adam e mobili di Thomas Chippendale. L'Ala Est fu aggiunta negli anni 1812-13 dall'architetto Robert Reid per ospitare una biblioteca e pinacoteca. Originariamente base domiciliare della famiglia Paxton, passò in eredità ai successori fino al 1988, quando l'ultimo laird, John David Home Robertson, membro socialista del Parlamento, ha posto il palazzo e i relativi terreni nel trust Paxton House Historic Building Preservation. Tutta la proprietà è attualmente aperta al pubblico come galleria d'arte associata alle Gallerie Nazionali di Scozia. (it)
