Scope and Content Summerhouse in garden of Moray House, Canongate, Edinburgh Moray House was built for Mary, Dowager Countess of Home in 1618 and given to her daughter, Countess of Moray, in 1643. It was visited by Charles I, and Cromwell lived here on two occasions. It is now a teachers' training college. The summerhouse, a secluded garden pavilion, was where in 1707, traditionally, the signing of the Treaty of Union was partly carried out. It was completed in a High Street cellar while the cries of the 'exasperated mob rang in the streets'. The Treaty of Union came into effect on 1st May 1707 when the Kingdoms of Scotland and England ceased to exist and were incorporated in a United Kingdom of Great Britain.
