Scope and Content Drawing showing first-floor room in 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. Moray House, once one of the grandest of Canongate mansions, has intricately carved ceiling plasterwork, decorated with lions, griffons, flowers and figures in relief. The panelled walls are inset with allegorical paintings. Oliver Cromwell lived in Moray House in 1648 on his first visit to Edinburgh. In 1650 he returned, after his victory at the Battle of Dunbar, to spend the winter in the house, holding assemblies and issuing orders 'to the perverted, unruly Scots'.
