Summary

Description
English: Room in Prestonfield House Like its predecessor, the House and its stunning interior could have fallen victim to arson when, in 2005, a drunken Labour peer tried to set fire to curtains in the main reception area after being refused more drink. The loss of an irreplaceable part of Scotland's architectural heritage was only narrowly averted when he was spotted by vigilant staff on CCTV and apprehended,though not before inflicting damage estimated at £4,500. After pleading guilty at the Sheriff Court to this act of supreme folly, he was given a 16 months' prison sentence for wilful fire-raising.
