The 5th Duke of Buccleuch was a boy of 13 when he inherited his title in 1819 after his father died unexpectedly in Lisbon. He married the daughter of the Marguess of Bath in 1829 and they lived at Dalkeith House. The Duke ran a pack of hounds at Dalkeith, but he also had a lodge at Eildon near Melrose and decided to build kennels for his hunt nearby. He chose ground near to the village green which bordered the road to Edinburgh and a fine kennels was erected in 1836. The Buccleuch Arms Inn was built alongside "to accommodate the aristocracy of fox-hunting proclivities".
