A much altered 16th century house. It seems originally to have consisted of an oblong main block, facing the street, with a pend that gave access to the courtyard behind. In the 17th century the house was partly rebuilt, while between 1705, when it was purchased by the Earl of Rosebery, and 1711 (when it passed to John Dundas) a wing, described in the latter year as 'the new jamm' was added at the back. Further alterations were made in the 18th century.
