Scope and Content The former Somerset Cottage (now the Raeburn House Hotel), Raeburn Place, Stockbridge, Edinburgh Raeburn Place, a mix of tenements and villas, was built between 1814-25 on the northern boundary of a new Georgian housing development planned by the portrait painter, Sir Henry Raeburn, on his country estate in the village of Stockbridge. This pretty villa, the survivor of three similar houses on what was 'the very edge of town', was built c.1832. It has an arched doorpiece and rock-faced links to the single-storeyed side pavilions. The Raeburn Estate was in open country, bordered to the south and east by the Water of Leith. It was in the shape of a triangle with the bridge at Stockbridge as its apex, and the three sides formed by Dean Terrace, Ann Street and Raeburn Place. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
