		Following the death of John Hope at sea (1682), the house and estates were developed by his wife Margaret, daughter of the 4th Earl of Haddington.
		Today Hopetoun remains the Hope family home, in the form of the 4th Marquis of Linlithgow, and its apartments are replete with 18th Century furniture and paintings, including works by Canaletto and Gainsborough.
