In 2009, the house and grounds were bequeathed to The Haining Charitable Trust which manages the estate for the benefit of the people of Selkirkshire and the wider public.

The Haining Charitable Trust is now working on developing the building as a centre for exhibitions and events, highlighting art, culture and history.

Holiday apartments, The Ettrick, and The Yarrow, and the two-beroomed, Dairy Cottage, are also now available within the grounds available for booking via Visit Scotland.

It was rebuilt by Edward I of England in 1301, during the Wars of Scottish Independence, with Sir Alexander de Balliol of Cavers in command.

[5] Mark died in 1812 and around 1820, his son John Pringle, who had inherited, remodelled the new house with an Ionic portico and loggia,[2] to designs by architect Archibald Elliot.

[6] Marble statues were installed on the garden terrace at this time, and several estate buildings including the stables were erected.

John Pringle kept a menagerie on the estate, including a bear, wolf and monkey, whose cages still stand.

The house was requisitioned by the military during the Second World War, and was occupied by Free Polish soldiers, including their mascot, Wojtek the bear.

“Old Ginger” was created by Alexander Stoddart following a fund raising initiative organised by Dandie Dinmont Terrier enthusiasts.

"Old Ginger" was the offspring of "Old Pepper", a dog caught in a trap and rescued by a gamekeeper at nearby Bowhill House.

Extensive tree works and upgrades to footpaths around the loch and estate commenced in 2019 following a grant award of £200,000 from the Forestry Commission's 'Woodlands in and Around Towns' (WIAT) fund.
