'Barnton' is a suburb of
Edinburgh,
Scotland, located to the north-west of the city.
It is home to the
Royal High School of Edinburgh; the Barnton Hotel; Braehead House, a plain
Scots Classical house dating from circa 1700; and
The Royal Burgess Golfing Society, one of the oldest
golf clubs in Scotland.
Barnton Hotel
Built in the 1860s and now closed, awaiting redevelopment, the Barnton Hotel is derelict, and has in the near past been subject to vandalism. Nearly all of the windows are smashed, and the stone walls have graffiti on them.
