Lennel House, a modern mansion in Coldstream parish, Berwickshire, on the steep left bank of the Tweed, 1 mile NE of the town. It is a seat of the Earl of Haddington; and its predecessor was the residence for many years and the death-place of Patrick Brydone (1741-1818), author of the well-known Tour through Sicily and Malta, who here on 7 May 1787 gave Robert Burns an ` extremely flattering reception. ' The parish of Coldstream till 1716 bore the name of Lennel or Leinhall; and its church stood 3 furlongs lower down the river. Around it once was a village of Lennel, destroyed by predatory incursion during the Border wars.—Ord. Sur., sh. 26, 1864. See Tyninghame.
