The site of the mansion of Muirhouse which was erected in 1690 and demolished to provide material for the present building (NT27NW 18.00). Two circular staircases remained at the time of the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch survey (Edinburghshire, 1853, sheet 2). This is depicted as a ruin on the 1st edition 6-inch map (ibid), but not the 1:2500 scale publication.
