Seton Palace, the favorite residence of Mary, Queen of Scots, was built in the 16th century and demolished in 1715. Toward the end of the 18th century, the stone from the original structure was used by architect Robert Adam to erect another baronial residence, which is known today as Seton Castle. The 235-year-old mansion, now available for $10 million to anyone with an eye toward a royal lifestyle, retains much of its original detailing but has been updated in recent years to accommodate a slew of modern luxuries, including a gym and home theater, along with three guest cottages and a helipad. And back in the States, in Washington, D.C.'s Logan Circle, a sleekly renovated penthouse condo with a private, city-view roof terrace sits atop an ornate Second Empire mansion built in 1887 by Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., the namesake son of the 18th U.S. president. |
