Scope and Content Panelled room in Huntly House, Canongate, Edinburgh Huntly House, 'erroneously identified as the lodging of George, 6th Earl and 1st Marquis of Huntly' dates from the early 16th century. Its name may come from a later tenant, a Duchess of the Gordons of Huntly who had a flat here in the 18th century. Huntly House has several panelled rooms, their woodwork partly original and partly early 18th century from demolished houses in the Cowgate. Huntly House is Edinburgh's principal city museum. It was saved from a ruinous state by the City Council in 1924, and after restoration opened as a museum in 1932. It contains a large collection illustrating many different aspects of the city's history. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
