Topic: Charlie Hopetoun


  
  Hopetoun House Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
Today's Hopetoun House is largely the result of the work of William Adam, who was commissioned in 1721 to turn an already grand and impressive house into a still grander and much more impressive one.
William Adam worked on Hopetoun House until his death in 1748, at which point the development was taken over by his sons, especially by John and Robert Adam, who oversaw the building of the pavilions and much of the interior decoration.
Hopetoun House remains the family home of the Hopes, who retain the hereditary titles of Marquess of Linlithgow and Earl of Hopetoun.

But the newly arrived Governor-General, Lord Hopetoun, instead invited Sir William Lyne, the premier of New South Wales, to form a government.
Since no federal Parliament had yet been established, the usual convention of appointing the leader of the largest party in the lower house party did not apply.
Hopetoun's decision can be defended on grounds that Lyne had seniority, but as an opponent of federation he was unacceptable to prominent federalists such as Deakin, who refused to serve under him.
