Newliston, an estate, with a mansion, in Kirkliston parish, Linlithgowshire, 1¼ mile SW of Kirkliston station. It was the property and favourite residence of the celebrated soldier, John, second Earl of Stair (1679-1747); and the plantations in its grounds are said to have so been planted as to represent the British array on the eve of the battle of Dettingen. The present mansion, built about 1794 from designs by William Adam, is the seat of Thomas Alexander Hog, Esq. (b. 1835; suc. 1858), who holds 1092 acres in the shire, valued at £2765 per annum, his ancestor having bought the estate about the middle of last century.—Ord. Sur., sh. 32, 1857. See John Small's Castles and Mansions of the Lothians (Edinb. 1883).
