Paxton House is a historic house at Paxton, Berwickshire, in the Scottish Borders, a few miles south-west of Berwick-upon-Tweed, overlooking the River Tweed. It is a country house built for Patrick Home of Billie in an unsuccessful attempt to woo a Prussian heiress. Attributed to James Adam (possibly in concert with John Adam), it was built between 1758 and 1766, under the supervision of James Nisbet, with extensive interiors (c1773) by Robert Adam, as well as furniture by Thomas Chippendale. The East Wing was added in 1812-13 by architect Robert Reid to house the library and picture gallery.

- 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. (it)

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)
