Scope and Content Panmure House, Canongate, Edinburgh Panmure House was built around 1691 as the townhouse of the Earls of Panmure. It is now a non-residential centre for young people. The L-plan house, once the home of James, fourth Earl of Panmure, ardent Jacobite and Privy Councillor to James VII, is in typical Scottish vernacular with crowstepped gables and rubble stonework. Adam Smith, philosopher, economist and author of 'The Wealth of Nations', lived in Panmure House from 1778 when he was Commissioner of Customs in Edinburgh. He died in the house in 1790 and is buried in the Canongate Kirkyard. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
